          bullet

          W = Required ballast per tray (three trays per mount) in pounds
          bullet

          P = Wind load of antenna(s) in pounds
          bullet

          H  = Distance from center of antenna to roof surface
           
          bullet

          W = 0.19 (P) (H) - 135
          bullet

          Total Ballast Needed = W (3)
