I think that two hose clamps on the bottom PVC cap will do a pretty good job holding the antenna vertical on a pole, but I don't remember if we have actually done it that way in Urbana.... I have made a nice mount from two of Radio Shack's "Universal Mast Anchor Mounts" (Cat. #15-888). It is sturdy, but it cost $12 for the mounts, nuts and bolts. Maxrad makes mounts. See <http://www.maxrad.com/cgi/catalog_ind.cgi?catalog=10002>. The MMK1 and MMK3 might be suitable. I don't know how important it is to attach the mount to the cap, but beware that the height and epsilon-like shape of the brackets do not suit the PVC cap at the bottom of your Superpass antenna. From top to bottom of the epsilon there is more distance than from top to bottom of the un-tapered part of the PVC cap. That makes it difficult for the mount to get a good grip on the cap.
