[TowerTalk] ROOF MOUNT TOWERS

[Dave Hough, W7GK]

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.
