Also keep in mind there is a difference between a 6 ft dish at 6 GHz and a 6 ft
dish at 11 or 18 GHz which will not tolerate any twisting of the tower/mast.
Although I had an 11 GHz 3 ft dish and a 5 GHz 3 ft backup on a tower that had
additional guy wires added and all the guy wires re-tensioned, and both dishes
took big hits in signal until they were re-aimed. If they had been 6 ft
dishes, the links might have completely dropped.

Rohn 25 would not work, you would be better off with 4.5" 15ft pipe non-pen and
a separate non-pen for stiff arm, it would need to be angled toward the weight
of the non-pen. I have a non-pen with 15ft 4.5" pipe, just cant remember brand
name at this moment. Are you mounting on a roof or anywhere near a wall? Even
some angle iron would work as a stiff arm.

Hmm the tower idea is a not bad. I have a ROHN 25 sitting in the back. I
could make a sled for it. Would a 25 work? Or is it too flimsy?

You need an actual 10 foot tower. You could engineer that to be non
penetrating. The dish needs a stabilizer arm to tie back to something.
Otherwise you will be visiting it often. If it’s licensed a 1 degree movement
could mean the difference between a -60 and a -70. You could do something
like the attached, but those are 4 foot dishes.
80 mph is roughly is somewhere around 700 foot pounds of torque on one axis
and 900 on another. Thats a lot of power for anything to hold. There is a
reason most big dishes are mounted to a tower near the guy wires on a guyed
tower.
For another example look at the picture on this wikipedia article.

on our 4' dish we had planned on using angle iron vertically in one
corner of the tray with struts going down to the two corners left and right for
attaching the stabilizer if we needed it

Hey all,
I am looking to mount a 6' dish on a 10' tall mast (4 1/2" OD) at the
top of the mast with something like this:

Using a Cinderblock tray as the base.
My question is, would this work? And how would I keep the dish from
twisting on the mast?
