Yeah, the strut and attachment hardware for it are also going to be at least 75 to 85 lbs together.
Some examples of what I'm talking about, before adding the stiff-arm strut: http://sitepro1.com/resources/pdf/assembly-drawings/TAP-472%20(Assembly).pdf (240 lbs) http://sitepro1.com/resources/pdf/assembly-drawings/UAS60%20(Assembly).pdf (158 lbs) http://sitepro1.com/resources/pdf/assembly-drawings/LPM3%20(Assembly).pdf (126 lbs) On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 2:13 PM, Jesse Dupont <[email protected] > wrote: > Don't forget to strut the edge of the dish back to the tower. > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Af <[email protected]> on behalf of Eric Kuhnke < > [email protected]> > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 16, 2017 3:11:35 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Does anyone have a 28-34dBi 2.4GHz 2x2 MIMO antenna > > Now go to sitepro1.com, find the tower steel section, and find a standoff > mount suitable for a 4.50" OD sch80 galvanized pipe and the wind loading of > an 8' dish...
