I think sat dish poles have anti-spin thingies on the bottom.  Otherwise, if 
you put a reflector dish on them, they WILL spin in the wind, eventually.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Installing wood posts without concrete

I have used 1" IMC pounded in with a fence post pounder before and there was no 
way that thing would turn with what I had on it (400mm NanoBeam).  Granted, it 
was a temporary install on a job site, but it lasted 9 months at the mouth of a 
canyon through multiple high wind storms.

  That would spin in the wind wouldn't it or is that an example of a bad 
practice?

    You could just pound a pipe in the ground like DirecTV does.

      A few months ago I read that some of you install wood posts without 
concrete for equipment that for some reason can't be mounted to the customers 
home.  Is this as simple as digging a hole placing the post in the ground and 
compacting the dirt around it as you fill the hole back up?
