[TowerTalk] House bracket

[Byron Peebles]

Not to me.

In my installation there is no connection to the roof.
And the building inspector wouldn't permit one.

I have brackets at the top of each floor of the house
bolted to the vertical studs, not the roof.  You don't want to lose the roof
if the tower goes or vice-versa.

73, Byron
