This is a site for software development, not DIY so your question isn't relevant anywhere here! Laugh | :laugh:

I'd be nervous about your idea; 1m is quite long, and the antenna will both add to the length and put the weight right at the top where where it causes the maximum instability - you will need quite a large area / mass of base to prevent it tipping over in a light breeze ...

Glue is certainly an option - but it'll depend on the actual plastic how well it will adhere - a hardware store is probably your best option, but I'd probably make a "plug" for the pipe and secure that to the bottom via screws, then screw the base to the plug instead of using adhesives. That way, if the base proves inadequate, a few seconds with a screwdriver and you can try a bigger, heavier one!
With a good adhesive, you'll probably have to cut the pipe off and that's not easy as you need a smooth, clean, accurate edge to resecure it to a new base. Hand saws don't generally provide that!
