I would consult with your facilities, and more specifically a qualified engineer that can do the load calculations, grounding requirements, check local code, then sign-off on the install. In today litigious environment, and depending on local code, it may be unwise to have unsecured ballast and/or if not a temp install (couple of days) an antenna that’s not permanently secured to the structure.

Do you have pictures of the installation that you could share? How high did you mount it? How much weight did you put on the base? We plan on putting it as high at 8-10 ft. on something like this: http://www.cableandwireshop.com/non-penetrating-roof-mount-with-166-x-120-mast.html Any gotchas we should be aware of?
