I did not see this mentioned, so I thought I might point it out: If you are leasing space from a tower leasing company, I wouldn't put anything like Unistrut on it. If it is from a tower leasing company (like Crown, ATC etc.) then I would read the contract and make sure they will allow it on their tower. Also keep in mind, other tower hands could be on the tower and if they knock it loose or hit it, they aren't likely to fix it if they aren't caught in the act.
If it is privately owned, I would recommend something like an M-TOW. There are other ways to mount if you cannot afford the M-TOW. Pipe to pipe clamps and poles (which you are going to need anyway) aren't hard to find and not too terribly expensive. You can also use the M-TOW-V <http://wbmfg.com/products.cfm?PID=35>. Using a 6ft pipe, you can use two (or three depending on how you set it up) to secure it to the tower. Then there is the M-TOW-A <http://wbmfg.com/products.cfm?PID=63>. You can use it the same way as M-TOW-V. These would, in my opinion, be better than Unistrut. The A versus the V might work out better for you as they are a little cheaper.
