Best type of mount for Winegard HD 7698P

Hi and thanks for your help.
Would an eve mount be possible for this long antenna? I've a one story old farm house. The peak of the eve is about 20 feet. I was thinking about the possibility of additional stabilzation by adding guy rings/wires. I'm fine with going with a telescoping mast if eve mounting is not recommended. I'd just like to minimize stuff on the ground. Based on my TV Fool results, any other advice would be appreciated. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...7ebb23d397ed12

Sincerely,
Tammy

http://www.3starinc.com/ and http://www.solidsignal.com are sources for eave mounts which are a good choice. Also consider a tripod.

Are you going to use a rotator? The HD7698P is much larger than needed for reception of the local signals. If you are going after the weaker signals to the west, it would make sense.
