Perhaps I was not clear: I cannot access the roof from the attic. I have
no problem
installing a small tripod or something like that and screwing it into the
roof (with roofing tar added). For the loop, I will probably build
a small shelf to hold the rotator (it has a shelf mount), set up on legs
that
match the roof slope, and tie the legs to the roof with straps screwed
into
the roof. The rotator (Yaesu G450A) should be able to hold a short mast
(maybe 4 feet)
and loop without a tower sleeve above it.
