Fabricate a base plate that can be pegged to the ground,onto which,
weld hinges and a plate with short legs to accept a tower section.
Carolina CW Ops did this for Field Day, putting up three towers, each
30 ft.  Prop the 30 ft section on a ladder, install antenna then pull the
thing up with a rope to a truck.  Use mobile home screw-in anchors
with rope guys secured near the top.  Quite stable; not for high winds.
