-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Last month we had a 24db 5Ghz panel ripped off its mounts by the wind. This is on top of a hill just behind the sierras and is only 3 feet off the ground. Ripped four bolts out of the back of the antenna. I was able to drive to the mountaintop, but had to crawl to the mast and put up the replacement wearing goggles and screw it on at ground level then raise it due to not being able to hold my hand steady with the speed wrench 2 feet off the ground.... Wild.... Got off the mountain asap when the truck started to tilt... Dodge 2500 diesel...
