I have a bunch of military mast that I'm considering using in a semi permanent basis to hold a v-uhf vertical up about 30 feet. My idea is to drive a support pipe into the ground and mount the military mast to that.  My question is, what do I use to mount the military mast to the pipe driven into the ground?

Take a look at the system we use for portable operation with mil-surplus mast sections. It's about halfway into this link, which are slides for a talk W6GJB did at Pacificon several years ago. He found the tripod adapter fitting at Dayton about ten years ago. I suspect they're available online.

A dozen or so slides farther into it, Glen shows guy anchors that can be driven almost anywhere. They're used to tie down small aircraft.
