Is there an ideal elevation angle for antenna mast guy wires? The angle I am talking about is the angle between the "top" of the mast and the wire.
I have a flat roofed home. Its nice for erecting antennas, sometimes a problem when it rains.
I'm close enough to the stations I want to receive so that 2' above the roof works.
I want to relocate an full sized FM antenna on a mast just tall enough to safely walk under the antenna, say 78" . I also want to install a second mast which will carry a 9# rotor and a 2.5# UHF antenna. This is probably a lighter load in a wind than the FM antenna. I want to minimize the space covered by guys; they are a hazard on the roof, too. I'll be reroofing as I do this, so I plan to install pipe flanges and 1.25" pipe as anchors before the new membrane is installed. I want to know where to plan to put them.
Thanks.
