I looked at the BigIR instructions and it appears that they supply a short
fiberglass tube for ground mounting the vertical however I did not see a
recommended method for elevated mounting.  I might be possible to use a
couple of Stauff clamps that fit the mounting tube and use lag bolts into
your 4x4.

I am planning to set up a BigIR with elevated radials.  I have installed a 4

having a difficult time finding a good 4 x 4 post to pipe (Delrin) bracket.
I would rather not just get long u-bolts and drill holes in the 4x4 post.
The following link looks to be exactly what I am looking for but is in the
UK.

Does anyone know of something similar in the US or have a better mouse trap
to attach a pole to a 4 x 4 post?
