Not HAM but I'm hoping to lean on your experience and/or expertise.
Cut the cord several years ago and put an antenna up on the roof. Currently using a 10' conduit cranked onto a 5' non-penetrating mount (three feet of overlap so about 12' tall). It has worked well up to this point with a Wineguard 9032 UHF and an AntennaCraft ST2.
With the lack of VHF high on the 9032, I am in the market for a new antenna so the missus can catch Fox football. While I'm up there, I was thinking of putting up something "sturdier" which I could hang the antennas off of. I was also hoping to get a little closer to 20' to the top as I'm quite a ways away from the broadcast towers.
I'm in a triple decker with a flat rubber roof so using lags to the joists isn't an option. I'm OK with lugging cinder blocks up and creating aa wooden "platform" of sorts.
So, with that said, is there anything like a 15' tower with two anchor points on the platform that will allow me to tilt it for antenna mounting with a third anchor point to keep it from swaying in the wind?
