Thanks a lot for the response.

Firstly, I would preferably have it on the roof. Secondly, the height should
preferably by at least 35-40 feet. The roof height is about 24 feet from the
ground. We live in a low rise area, and the houses around are maximum three
storeys high. This will give an overall height of about 55-60 feet. Thirdly,
guy lines can be put since there is space around the house to fix them. The
roof is a plain flat roof - 60' x 20' with no structures. One possibility is
to fix the tower at the first floor level and then fix it by the side of the
house.
