Going to hopefully purchase some stuff this weekend so I got a little question. Everyone keeps mentioning putting up a test setup to test things out before permanently attaching everything. How is this supposed to be accomplished if for say I wanted to put a 3 foot tripod on the carport. If that spot does not work and need to move it to the right back some or what ever, how is that supposed to be done if I have to drill the feet into the back board? Also, I was not really able to tell looking at the pictures, but do the feet rotate at all? I am not putting it on the house roof, but the carport that has a very slight slope causing it to be not level. Could I get some extra pads and put under the foot? Whats the the most it can be off?
Also about grounding. What gauge wire should I run to the setup (also does it attach to the tripod or the mast and how)? It is about ?20-30? foot run to the point of entry to the crawl were the phone is also located that I can bond too. It is a 10 gauge run about 15 feet or so to the main ground that runs to an old cold water pipe then continues to the other end of the house to the power meter and singe rod. As we get a good amount of thunder storms I thought about driven a rod at the end of the port and bonding it all together. Would that be to much overkill?
