Anybody ever mount a rotor in the attic and run the mast straight up
thru the roof? Seems like I remember an article in 73 Amateur Radio or
QST about this. I'm considering trying this, theirs a nice pop-out in
my roof for a vent that would be perfect for this. Then the hole would
not be in the main roof, just the small section of the pop-out. Seems
like it would be fairly easy to seal, and could also put a large pan
with a drain line under the rotor just in case any water did get thru.
Any idea's, suggestions? Thanks

I remember reading that article and it seems a ton of work/prevention goes
into that method. I'm going the Roof Tower direction and Glen Martin makes
some pretty nice ones, 4, 8 or 9 feet would seem to work better than what
you need to put a mast through the roof.

Just a 2nd idea

I'm going 9ft myself. Its all built but setting in my garage waiting for the
water we are getting in the Puget Sound to stop. Which at this rate might
be spring .
