Hi all,

I purchased a Winegard 8200, Winegard pre-amp, CM 9521a and a 3ft tripod.
I have a 10 ft 1 1/4" mast which I want to cut down to size- maybe a 5ft piece in the tripod and a 3ft section for the rotor and antenna.
Questions:

1- should i mount the preamp above or below the rotor?

and

2- I read that the 3ft tripod won't line up to the roof rafters so what should I do? I figure putting a block of wood inside the attic and bolt through that should suffice but want to be sure. Or would you recommend getting a 5ft tripod?

If there are any videos or how-to's out there, would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks for your time and wisdom,
