Abstract: A pole mount is provided for supporting a device, such as a satellite dish or an antenna. The pole mount includes an elongated rod having a ground penetrating end, and a pair of augers secured on the elongated rod in spaced apart relationship. The first auger, which is closer to the ground penetrating end of the elongated rod, is smaller in diameter than the second auger. The ratio of the diameter of the first auger with respect to the second auger is on the order of three to five. A stabilizing plate is secured to the elongated rod and is constructed and arranged to engage the ground. A support member is secured to the stabilizing plate and extends upwardly therefrom away from the elongated rod. The support member is hollow and is adapted to receive a cable which is provided to connect an appliance, such as a television set, to the satellite dish carried on the support member.
