Further info on my Glen Martin roof top tower.....I too used a non-penetrating mounting system. My setup was made of 2 x 10 x 8' long rectangles which were hinged together at the peak of the roof. The legs of the GM tower were bolted to the boards at the top of the rectangles. I didn't have wind concerns and was sheltered by trees so I didn't use any weights on the boards. This was in Fairbanks, AK about 10 years ago.
I wish i had a pic but I don't. It worked well with my in-progress Yaesu G-5500 rotator and 2M, 70cm, and 23 cm satellite antennas.

Also, I still need to buy the rotator and antenna system, so if someone
know of these for sale, let me know.
As far as I know, the LEOpack is available from M2 direct, and AMSAT, only. AMSAT offers a discount over the M2 price, as well as free shipping, for members who purchase via the AMSAT store.
