I checked our PO database and discovered I linked the wrong one. I use
the BRM4
(http://www.rohnnet.com/filedownload/downloadfile/fileid/46/filenum/0/src/@random4a720e6be1bdd).
Model: BRM44510 which has a 10ft 4.5" mast. Cost from Tessco is about $1000.

If you want to mount a 4' dish on a non-pen mount use a Rohn BRM6
(http://www.rohnnet.com/filedownload/downloadfile/fileid/47/filenum/0/src/@random4a720ea8974f5).
I prefer the BRM64510M so I can put the dish at whatever height I want.
I have a 4' HP and a 3' HP dish on one of these with about 1500lbs of
ballast. Yes thats a LOT of cinder blocks. Been there for years without
missing a beat.
I like running a 6 gauge ground wire from the mount to the building
ground. We don't have grain anything in the forest so I don't know what
kind of grounding might already be available for you. But usually there
will be a ground rod sunk somewhere. Just run a massive ground wire to
it and ground everything else to that.

I have two goals, mounting the bastard and grounding the bastard
If you knew the volume of fecal matter I have had to ea tot get this
achieved you would understand my very short fuse about dealing with
dickheads like me that I have.
I need to first mount this thing. Its likely to be a SAF link, and
thats that.
Im going to take a moment to say that regardless of what this final
project ends up being, if you want one hell of a sales guy to work
with, Jerrod from Moonblink(Jarrod Washington
[jarrod.washing...@moonblink.com
<mailto:jarrod.washing...@moonblink.com>]) is the shit, if you
badmouth him, I will come to your house, I will castrate you, I will
fry your man parts in olive oil, give them a slight garlic and
rosemary seasoning and serve them to you over some white rice with a
cane vinegar brandy. I float out told this guy that after he did all
the work, my bosses would likely flat out price shop his parts list.
He didnt blink and kept on doing his thing. If my daughter was old
enough, Id marry her to him.
In a perfect world, both sites will be non penetrating mounts. One
side is 3' the other 4'. The side that wiull have the 4' hast the
option of being mounted on a set of 25g we have running up the wall.
The problem is the wall mount is currently only secured every 20'
with a 2" deep concrete anchor, Im pretty sure this wont be
sufficient for a 4' antenna (currently we only mount 2' parabolics to
it)
We have the option to plow through the wall with plates, but if we go
to that expenses we might as well go to a full non pen for a 4"
antenna at the top.
Any advice on a non pen mount that can support a 4" parabolic? This
side we can do pretty much whatever, but still want the smallest
footprint.
The other side, for non pen, our partner claims to have an 8' x 8'
footprint mount, the best I ever specced was 10x10 so Im suspiscious.
Both sites are grain elevators. Im looking for the minimum grounding
to achieve a respectable level of protection. If you send me an NEC
link, you have no value to me, Im not asking because I already know
the NEC spec and just want to brag about my testicles. I just want a
rough Idea of what it would take to get to a point where with factory
spec installation of a Lumina I can meet the minimum ground/bond at
an elevator and grow from there.
