Per HerHusband:
I don't know how big your antenna is, how tall your mast is, or if it
runs all the way to the ground. I have a five foot mast mounted at
the top of our gable end. It's simply lagged into the 5/8" plywood
sheathing with two brackets, haven't had any issues in 10+ years.

It's waaaaaaaay bigger that I expected - as in 32# and 7 x 11'.....

Accordingly, the mast will butt up on a cinder block on the ground.

Main thing, I want to be able to re-aim the antenna without climbing a
ladder... but having it rest on the ground would also seem to
alleviate a lot of stress on the W-brackets holding it to the side of
the shed.

Why not just put an antenna rotator where the antenna is now?
