3 months up there and counting. And plenty of summer thunderstorms have passed.

Phase3. But I have done a slimline in a similar way.

That's why it's grounded. Plus there are taller trees and buildings around.

Looks good today................The other extreme is a chimney sitting in the middle of an intersection with the same dish attached......The caption was something like THIS IS WHY I DON'T DO DTV ANY MORE. THE HSP BACK CHARGED ME FOR FAILURE TO CONNECT THE DISH TO A SECURE PART OF THE STRUCTURE. This was with hurricane winds. What I see will last about a week.

looks like my antenna mount (on top of 45' roof).. long way up but get great reception

The funny thing is that dishes seem much less sturdy than they really are.

In the Hurricane Charlie in FL a few years ago, out on the islands houses were stripped bare with all the windows gone, roofs off, etc. and yet phase 3 and oval dishes were all over still mounted to their soffets and fench posts/etc. many still in working order and alignment.

Quite a funny sight, and a few still are around even today.


Now, I cant imagine this would go through a hurricane, but it looks plenty good to tough it through regular storms and what not

Yeah, we don't get too many of them here anyway. Plus it would be the last thing on many people's mind if it did. :lol:

been there. Done that. you plumb the pole once it's up, and turn it for signal.

I've done about 5 of these. hoo-rah. Never had a 30 day (back then it was 30) call-back on one, either.
