Tilting antenna / flag pole

Want to build this for the corner by the old screen porch next year to finally get good scanner reception in the house (granted I've lived for 18 years with the worst reception of anywhere I've lived...)

What I'm thinking for my place is dig the hole with the backhoe, put in a 8" Sonatube, backfill & tamp, gravel in the bottom, set the base, Quikrete in the base. While I'm working with the backhoe also put in a trench for a 8' copper grounding rod to make this very well grounded.
