Used 30' of Universal aluminum tower sections on the roof of my Las Vegas house
and had a Cushcraft X7 on it. http://www.qsl.net/w7gk/
Worked great. Built a saddle out of 4"x 6" planks to set on the roof peak then
braced the roof to distribute the load onto the interior framing. On top of the
saddle put a Universal flatroof mount and guyed the tower. That set up was hit
by high winds and many dust devils and never flinched.
