      I don't have much to add to the AA8U post -- good advice.  The biggest
problem with any roof installation is roof membrane penetration.  You want to
avoid this like the plague.  The  building owner/manager will be incredibly
concerned about this possiblility since they have thousands of dollars
invested in roof integrity.  Anything you can do to avoid this is
recommended.  

73 and good luck,   Steve   K7LXC
