I would recommend using a T-connector with the 'axis' connecting to the base with u-bolts and the long end to the antenna. In addition to only needing stock parts/glue, you get an adjustable base.
Also, PVC can become quite flexible when heated to the appropriate temperature...if you find you want to create custom fittings or reshape the thing. Good luck!

You may not need to glue pipe to T-connector.
The pipe can just sit upright in it.
attach t-connector to 1ftx1ftx 1/4inch piece of plywood or plastic.

I recommend a glue especially made for PVC.
You could try brazing if you're adventurous.
Welding could be interesting.

PVC pipe, adapter, and floor flange, all schedule 40. Cement the pipe to the adapter with PVC cement (it will not come apart). Screw the adapter into the flange (do not overtighten). Attach the flange to your base with screws. Now affix your antenna.

Just noting that I could not find an indoor antenna which was even close to that length. Even many of the outdoor ones were shorter than that.
I did find a 'Pixel Technologies AFHD-4 AM FM HD Radio Antenna'. Outdoor only. Which would be about 1.5 meters.
Have you tried just hooking up a piece of wire and taping it to the wall? Certainly when I was young that is what I did for multiple residences. Wire and tape is real portable.

thank you kindly for investigating . the 1m does not refer to antenna . i have an antenna in mind purchased and utilized i.e. SR-100 FM Antenna[^] . i found whilst utilizing it provides good reception if held aloft . so i need an extra "arm" hence the 1m stand/support . yes i also utilized a lengthy wire taped high on a nearby wall w/ poor results . -Kind Regards

You could fix a shorter dowel rod to the base via a screw and then slide the PVC over the dowel.

I just installed the beta of the new Chat version of GitHub Copilot and I've been using it for a couple of days.
I had this thought:
I wonder how long it will be before employers start using some version of Copilot (or whatever name they give it) to measure developers' performance?
It won't just be number of lines written anymore, it will be the quality of the code that gets measured.
Do you think that will happen?

Can Co-Pilot really identify quality code or nasty bugs that get fixed with some letters or a couple lines but get a dev busy for some days / weeks? If not... then it won't be a good idea.
Additionally there are parts of the job that have nothing to do with code writing and can be time intensive too. Clarifying specs, talking with customers / providers, organisational things, creating the concept / structure...
Product owner, product designer, system architect and other similar roles are very difficult to evaluate using those kind of metrics.

Totally agree. That's what formed the basis of my question - just how unfair it would be.

If it can count Function Points, and you keep track of how long it took to develop those points, then it can help with future estimating. And, yes, be able to say how many function points Programmer A delivers on average over a certain time frame.

Versus those that already attempted that using other tools/processes in the past decades?
Most companies have better things to do with their time. And most find it hard enough to hire developers, so annoying the ones that work there usually isn't something they want to get involved with.

Ah, you poor sod - I feel for you. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Hope you get well soon - I found for a while after that even trying to think hard made my head hurt almost immediately as I needed more O2 and wasn't getting it.

Be careful and have a phone with someone fast dial near you (if you are alone at home).
My older brother was too proud to ask for help when he got it and he lost around 20 kilos in 1 week (nothing in the fridge and not going / sending anyone to the grocery, besides of no energy to cook the few he had) and ended paying the highest price (he died while sleeping due to pulmonar embolism)
