[amsat-bb] Home Satellite Station - Antenna Mounting Question

[Bob Hammond]

Further info on my Glen Martin roof top tower.....I too used a
non-penetrating mounting system.  My setup was made of 2 x 10 x 8' long
rectangles which were hinged together at the peak of the roof.  The legs of
the GM tower were bolted to the boards at the top of the rectangles.  I
didn't have wind concerns and was sheltered by trees so I didn't use any
weights on the boards.  This was in Fairbanks, AK about 10 years ago.

I wish i had a pic but I don't.  It worked well with my in-progress Yaesu
G-5500 rotator and 2M, 70cm, and 23 cm satellite antennas.
