I had a TA33 Jr on my roof for a year then replaced  it  with  the  full
TA33 about 2 years ago.  It is on a 10 foot tripod and I am using alight
duty TV type rotor.  It  is  not  guyed  and  has  survived  several  NJ
winters.

My only tip is to use threaded rod to bolt it  to  the  roof,  not  wood
screws.  Use long rods and place a long 2x8  (or 2x10) under the rafters
to spread the stress across several rafters.

Good luck.  73, Jim KY2D
