Looks like a "Christmas Tree" stand, or a foot for a tent pole to me.

I have questions.

How does the angle of that base part work out with the angle of the radials? Looks to be skewed a bit to me, or is it adjustable somehow?

You say this thing has four legs, but I only see three radials and three legs on the tent pole footing. How does that all work out again?

If this does connect the radials at the base of the antenna somehow will it have that cute little dog-leg appearance?

Do you think the added length will add a bit to the radial length and change the dynamic for the radial affect for the antenna?

Are you making the bottom section inside the cage double walled?

It looks to be rather small tubing diameter at this point in the antenna, I thought you might try to make it a bit stronger.

How about emailing me your Eznec5 model of this antenna, I might be able to help you out with some of my own ideas.
