Seen Mast placed into a five gallon bucket of sand and the antennea head 
mounted on the mast. Base of mast had been drilled through to allow some 
fairly large carriage bolts to mitigate the twisting effect, in most cases

the sand in the bucket was kept relatively moist and solidly tamped down. 
Also have seen this used for satellite dish installations. Correct
grounding 
of the mast is highly recommended.
This works quite well with smaller and mid-range antennea having lower
wind 
loading>>Mitigates twisting and tipping over.
Definitely a temp installation but do not know it it would be applicable
for 
your use.
