Hi Paul, If you don't want to drill holes into the roof consider a NPRM - non penetrating roof roof. Not the little cheapie ones for DirecTV or Dish but the commercial kind.Baird is a very reputable maker of commercial mounts. They may be a little overkill for your needs but you might find something cheaper or make your own based on the examples on the Baird webpage: Baird Mounts - Non-Penetrating Roof Mounts (NPRM)

Hello, I will be moving to a new QTH, and have the opportunity to set up a nice satellite home station, but I'm running into some issues in finding information: So far I know I want the "M2 Leo Pack antenna system", with a Yaesu 5500 Elv / Az Rotator. This setup will be mounted directly on the roof of my house. At this time a tower install is out. The issue is: What is the best system for mounting this on the roof? Is there a tripod? or will I need to custom make something? Any help would be appreciated. I have contacted M2 and DX engineering, but each tell me to talk to the other, so not much help there. Also, I still need to buy the rotator and antenna system, so if someone know of these for sale, let me know. Thanks!!!!
