Default Direct TV satellite dish removal.

We had a kind neighbor who helped get the satellite dish from Direct TV off of its pole. The pole though seems stuck in some kind of compacted clay, dirt, concrete hybrid which is a real bear to crush around it at its bottom.

Anyone else have experience with the hybrid of clay, dirt, and concrete? The DirectTV people have new technology so they said that they would only remove this much older satellite dish if they were putting in a new one. We now have cable.

If I had a sledge hammer I might try hitting the top of the pole like some Villages ' Paul Bunyan, but we do not have a sledge hammer and I doubt if any neighbors do either.
