@NoSnowJoe,, I highly advise NOT to have it *Bolted* to your vent Stack.. Seriously, High winds could give you roofing troubles down the road...
Just sayin..

Thanks, it’s actually bolted to an old satellite dish stand that is bolted to the roof. Do you think I should change it or maybe lower it a couple feet?

If it were "Me", I would go purchase a Long piece of Conduit, eg: Galvanized Pipe, about 15' long & mount your Station to that, (Or purchase a flag pole),, Bury it w/concrete.. A satellite mount isn't designed to w/stand High winds, especially if it isn't "bolted" to the Trusses, (I doubt it is) THEN,, getting a (AKA a good T-Storm), What you done, you; ARE ASKING for trouble AND expensive roofing repairs later down the road..
Just trust Me please..

Honestly my fear for a sheared wave is dwindling, Not a bad look for this range as all waves this year have seemingly been more amped as they get sampled on the west coast (those changes have also impacted us negatively) but in the case it would be a positive
For example the @metwannabe special

Stop being a weenie. It's going to be sunny and 60
 
I see we have a new cold rain storm to track! March 1960 redux
 
Being a fan of a winter storm which can cause injury/death/damage = omg your a awesome person
Being a fan of severe weather which can do the same things = your a terrible person, your crazy, wha wrong with you
Being a fan of a hurricane which does the same thing as the listed 2 = your a terrible person, what’s wrong with you
being a fan of extreme cold =your awesome
Being a fan of extreme heat = your terrible
We’re all in love with weather for a reason, we don’t love it for the deaths it causes, but it interest us, severe is interesting to me, I love storms, if there wasn’t that, how the hell would we learn, we don’t hope for injury and death, but we are weenies for that because it’s interesting asfuck
