Here we are in the land of the tropical storm and hurricane.

Now we have a new way (at least to me) of mounting a small dish.

I suppose we will have a new category to list in the Saffir-Simpson
scale.

What do you think? Will it blow away in a Cat 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

At least I don't live close to this installation.

If at all possible, don't mount a satellite dish on the roof - put it
where you can reach it: on the deck railing, on a pole in a pot of
concrete, wherever. It's easier to fuss with, take inside, remove snow,
re-aim, etc.

Putting antennas up high is a remnant from TV days. The difference between
25,000 miles from the ground and 24,999 miles, 5260 feet from the roof is
negligible


Bull****...Mine is on the roof because of TREES....It was the ONLY spot we
could get a clear shot....Unlike an antenna a dish must have an unobstructed
view of the satellite...
