Another alternative:

Drill about a 5/16 inch through hole in the PVC about 1/2 to 1 inch down from the end and then cut a slot about the width of the wire diameter between the top of the holes and the top of the PVC.  Snap the wire through the slots into the hole.  Wire will slide, will not come out and can be removed if needed.

I cut the steel to about 4 ft, stick it in the ground, drill a hole through the top of the PVC, slide the pipe over the steel, and ty-wrap the wire to the pipe through the hole.
