They're a pretty nifty and relatively inexpensive way to get some beams
up.

They're freestanding.

A bunch of beam performance is related to height. A roof mounted antenna
at 30 feet won't be as good as the same beam up 70 feet. Or a hundred feet.
OTOH you can work a lot of stuff and have a lot of fun with a modest
installation like this.
