I figured out how I am going to mount this thing on my parents house. This also means I could be using an actual base antenna. Ok... Follow this carefully!

I am going to build a mount out of 2x4s and plywood (either treated or painted/sealed) in the shape of a wide "V". It will ultimately look like a "W" but without the outer top halfs of the sides. This will sit on the peak of my parent's house and I can place two cinder blocks on either side in the smaller "V's" to hold it in place. I can then build supports off of this to bolt a pipe to that will hold the A99.

I am so happy I finally figured out a way to mount my antenna that isn't permanent and won't put holes in any of my Father's roofs!

Time to order the A99 and 100+ feet of coax.

EDIT: My Picasso style drawing should better explain my plan.
