@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..

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
