I had considered the CM3671 and Wineguard HD8200HD. They had a boom length of 173 and 168" and when I mentioned them to several installed each said the same thing; they are too long for a roof top and need a tower to mount. I do have access to a used tower across the street that I think I can buy but each said it would be too costly to pull it, recondition it and then put it up and it requires a permit because to properly install it, it requires a cement pad and hence triggers the permitting requirement. Seemed like too much of a hassle for now. I might do something later if not happy with the current;y planned install. Most of the homes around here had towers when the home was built and there are a number of empty towers still standing. This house had one that had been taken down and partially disassembled and parts missing so wifey in cleaing things up disposed of it.
