The mast itself didn't move due to the antenna. I just couldn't hold up the longer end that was hanging off the roof while I tightened the bolts on the antenna mount. By that point, my arms were tired from all the trips up and down to get the dish down, and the antenna up. Having to crab walk across the roof each time due to the slope and lack of traction. I do not have a chimney so that isn't an option. May go tripod near the peak in the future if the existing mount won't work, but was hoping to not put more holes in the roof since the dish mount was already there and I'm trying to keep the cost down as that was the point of ditching satellite in the first place. I'll report back once I've had a chance to level out the antenna. Thank you again for all of the advise and recommendations, it is truly appreciated!
