[ASLML] A9.21: CA and Rooftops

[davehawk at tampabay.rr.com]

In fact, I think it more realistic that you would be unable to change CA than not.  Unless you are shooting up (not likely from a rooftop), you would only have LOS to the side of the building where you were on the rooftop edge.  To change your CA, you would have to haul that MG to a new side and resetup.
