Through bolts and a plate is probably ideal but overkill for that antenna. Sound like a DB224-B. Anyway, I would use concrete anchors like Bill said.Redhead is a good brand. They also do make a concrete lag that is pretty big that I have used before but the way those work they are one shot deals. If you break them free you have to go back with an anchor so don't over torque them.
