Glad to help out.
I would say this regarding "manning up." If you aren't comfortable doing the install yourself then don't do it. Better to not risk injury or the irritation of never getting the system to perform as expected. I ran into a similar situation at my location. Finally, I just did it myself. Luckily, I'd had some experience in years past putting up CB/Amateur antennas so it wasn't a stretch.
There is also a gentleman in the bay area who advertises installations. He may be good to ask. His last post here was in 2010, but he may be a resource. His email is:

Best of luck!
