My prediction was very wrong, it is really starting to get going now, blowing about a force 7.

Very best regards Wez

That dam wind has got worse.I am not even going to look at my dish until the morning.In fact I am thinking of putting my 60cm dish back up.I did not have any wind problems with that.And I have not noticed much difference in signal strength .

I moved mine triax onto 39east over night to try tacking the wind and reduce stress on the pole

when on 1 west was like a 1.1 metre sail the stress on the pole looked painful could see it bouncing when a gust hit funny thing is signal quality was not affected much

Im really surprised its not moved in the last few days the arc still seems to be ok

pleased I put 2x tk barckets on there now but can see why polar mounts are a good plan and motors sound not be used over 1.1 meters

My shed was blown from one side of the garden to the other

Living on the side of a hill is not always a good idea.. good views, way to much wind !
