Consider running the coax through a garden hose before burying. You won't have to dig it up if you want to change or remove it. You can use a barrel connector on the existing coax to pull the replacement through. - Nice video!

Nice set up, Neighbor. We live in Riverside. 73 de KF4LBG... Beautiful garden!

Extra points for using a shovel with flip flops. Nice job.

Great idea. Looks really good....

Nice job. EMT conduit is a great resource for all kinds of antenna work....I use the one inch stuff to hold up my wire antenna...super strong and 17 bucks for 10 feet...can't beat it!

Nice. I’m doing the same thing using chain link top rails with a j-pole for my 2meter. 73

Nice project, this is precisely how i did my mast for my flagpole and it works great! That being said i really think H.O.A's are too far in to peoples business and should examine themselves in the mirror first, Blue skies Capt! KC5JSR, 73'

New sub here. Just got in to 11 meter band. Super brand new at this... I like the idea of having coms of any capacity during a black out. great idea man....

When you run a bolt through thin wall pipe like that no matter how much you tighten the nut you'll never really get it tight. It just collapses the pipe. Instead, use nylock nuts. Those are nuts with a nylon insert that will stop the nut from spinning freely. Just snug it up, but don't distort the pipe. The copper coat is a good thing, too.

You could stealth that mast by training some vines to grow up the mast. Then it will look like a support structure for your vine! Another idea is to have mounts on the mast to hold small potted plants. Then it would become a structure to hold your garden pots!
