Although fiber glass poles are convenient for supporting a variety of antenna designs, the options for base mounts are a bit more limited.
In this video, Peter Waters (G3OJV) describes a base mount that is "quick release, very easy, and low cost."
This mounting solution is useful for both portable operations and deed-restricted properties.

Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):
The fibre Glass Telescopic Pole is am easy method of supporting a variety of Ham Radio Antennas. However, it is not always so easy to find a method of supporting one of these masts. The most popular range of telescopic fibre glass masts come from SpiderBeam in Germany. The construction is superior to most other ranges and that makes them a good choice for base station installation. Peter G3OJV, describes one simple and low cost method of installing one of these masts.

Here's an interesting antenna design for radio amateurs exploring the 630 meter and 2200 meter amateur radio bands. This classic antenna is basically a top loaded vertical designed for frequencies below the standard broadcast band (472 kHz and 137 kHz). Even though this antenna is inefficient, a digital signal using the FT8 protocol should get you some contacts. Good luck!

Don't let deed-restricted properties (HOA/CC&R) stop you from enjoying Amateur Radio. In this video from AC2RJ, we see how some well-placed trees, a camera tripod, a telescoping fiberglass mast, and a "V" antenna can get you on the air without a lot of effort. Add an antenna "tuner", a sturdy rig, such as the Yaesu FT-817, a microphone/cw key, and a simple grounding system, and you have a fully functional, nearly invisible ham station in your backyard.

Bernie does an excellent job of explaining the pros and cons of this popular HF antenna from the late Louis Varney (G5RV). Although Varney envisioned his design primarily as a 3/2 wavelength antenna for the 20 meter Amateur Radio band, radio amateurs have used the antenna for multiband use. The G5RV is an excellent choice for the 20 meter band. Performance on other HF Amateur Radio bands is good enough to qualify as stand alone HF antenna if you can only erect one HF antenna.
