I don't know if RS still sells this stuff. It was called a ground mount,
or drive-in base mount. If you can't find wall brackets there, Channel
Master still makes them. You can get some part numbers from the below link
and maybe find them somewhere local. True-Value hardware stores may still
carry Channel Master stuff.
If you can't find the ground mount, Homo Depot has fence posts in the garden
dept. Either 4, 5, or 6 ft. long. They have a flange welded at the
bottom end that gets driven into the ground. Pick the largest one that
will fit inside your mast and cut to needed length
