I would join, then post a question to the Tower-Pro group here on YahooGroups.  They should be able to give you an idea of weight.  Any of the commercial TV-FM antennas that I have seen can get pretty heavy.

We are getting some strange receiver noises (intermittent
pops/cracks/static) as well as sudden losses of sensitivity on our 2
meter machine.  This is what the top of our tower looks like:

The thin white vertical is our Hustler G7.  The other antenna is what
I'm asking about.  I know it's probably a late 70's era UHF TV
broadcast antenna...our site was used by the county gov't for a TV
translator site before it was abandoned.  It needs to come off, but
how much does this thing weigh?  I don't want to tie a ginpole to it,
loosen all eight bolts and find out it weighs 300
pounds....especially if gravity suddenly takes over!!!
