Why am I envisioning some scheme involving magnets to circumvent Trump’s wall?

The center had a 900fsk but we removed it to insert the new 450iAP 900 panel. There are 4 of those pipe mounts on that tank and the other 2 mounts hold a MTOW-3P with 2 pmp450 3.65 AP panels One of our climbers actually tested the pipes to see if they were still holding strong so he supported himself from the mount while staying tied off to the center mast on the tank. We also made a single pole mast with 2 of the smaller magnets that would mount to red iron or most flat metal surface. We used it for holding the motorola WLAN CAN which weighed about 65lbs after being mounted and our tech was able to stand on top of the mount without it moving.

I think I can improve on this but it starts to cut loose at about 100-120 lbs of force.� So I would not rate it over 50 lbs. If there were 4 of these on one of our P mounts you could probably safely mount a 100-200 lb antenna on it.� --
