Hello it is still up I have had not had to take it down yet but look's likes like I am for here it mates to the mast they used one bolt and over the years of the slight rocking side to side, it opens up so drill a hole for one more bolt. I also put the hose clamps on. Dan, N8WMZ
HI CARMINE, REGARDING YOUR CONCERN "too much stress on the roof". DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF ROOF TOWER MOUNT YOU PURCHASE. https://www.rohnnet.com/tripod-rooftop-mount http://www.w8io.com/rooftower.htm YOU COULD HAVE A CONTRACTOR PUT DOWN SOME PRESSURE TREATED 2/12 INCH BOARDS ON THE ROOF AND THEN MOUNT THE TOWER ON THE BOARDS. THE BOARDS SHOULD BE LONG ENOUGH TO BRIDGE THE ROOF RAFTERS. ALSO, BE SURE TO USE A WHOLE BUNCH OF GOOD QUALITY PETROLEUM BASED ROOF GUNK. THIS WILL REDUCE THE STRESS TO THE ROOF FROM THE TOWER. HAVE LOTS OF FUN AND WORK SAFELY. HAPPY HOLIDAYS 73 - K1LKP
