Consider using a J-pole with pitch pads to seal.
If you need to get the cable through the roof then instead of the J-pole, a section of rigid 1" or 1 1/4" electrical conduit (check your antenna clamp size) topped with a weather-head, sealed at the roof deck with a conventional roof flashing can serve very well as an antenna mast, provided the mast is secure, so it can't move in the wind causing the flashing (boot) to leak over time. Done properly, this should last as long as the other plumbing and electrical roof penetrations.
U-bolts and uni-strut are options for clamping the mast under the roof deck. Guy wires above can be use, especially if you use a full 10' section of conduit.
The big box home centers should stock all these items.

Reason: mast and clamp size
