[Elecraft] Very cool Earth Screw at Lee Valley Tools... Just a tad O/T

[Maarten van Rossum]

I use these:

They are really inexpensive, just a couple of Euro's, and depending on soil
conditions can easily support large vertical antenna's or other poles.
You could try camping stores and look for umbrella/parasol screws as someone
mentioned before.
