If it's on the top of the antenna mast, it should only rotate around the mast, which may be 4" at most. I can stabalize the mast a bit with a outrigger at the bottom which I've been meaning to do for years. The pipe from the chimney is 1" thick wall, so there isn't much wind effect there, I forget what the mast is, whatever fit in the Alliance rotator. It survived Sandy which brought down a huge oak on the roof and whacked the very end director of the 2M beam and bent one side down.

Thanks, yeah I always get messed up with decimals and powers of 10, especially when they flip from + to -, unless I work with them all the time, plus I've got old age brain rot. It ain't what it used to be. I'm doing a precision survey now.
