I have the GME 9 foot roof tower.  Been up about 1 1/2 years.  It is 
holding up a C4 (about 4 feet above the tower) and a discone 
another 7 or 8 feet above the C4.

The GME tower is NOT climbable!  (according to the instructions 
that come with the GME).  I hired a sign company to install the 
antenna (quick and safe!).  I feel it was the best  $135 invested.  I 
did place a ladder against the tower to check the antenna mast 
connection (safety check a year later).  

It is solid and well constructed.  I did place a GME thrust bearing 
on top and am turning the C4 with an 21 year old HD 73.
