Just use about 6' of 1 3/8 mast for the boom, run it through one of those rotors which allows the mast to go up throught it. Place the rotor on it's side on a mounting plate so it becomes the polarization adjustment, then drive your full wave wire quad with an electrical 1/4 wave of RG-11. (about 7' 2") - Use the velocity factor x 108" for the measurement.

For local talk you'll probably always keep it vertical but for DX you'll probably want to keep it horizontal.
