I agree with KY2D's comments on roof mounted towers.
I have a roof mounted section of ROHN tower that has angle-iron feet.
I installed 2-by-10's under the roof between the rafters and bolted the
tower thru these boards. Standing on the tower and trying to rock it
shows no give at all. I weatherproofed the bolt holes with roof cement.
I don't have a tribander on it but I have 4 VHF/UHF ham and TV antennas
on it. This same tower section did support a TA-33 at one time and
survived 70 plus mph winds.
