This one is probably going to be a 15dBi grid, but may be a 19.
It is amazing how much torque there can be when the wind blows 10mph.

> Depends on size of antenna. If using a parabolic or dss dish (18"-24"), going 5-8 feet above ground, I'd highly recommend 2-3/8" dia pole.  However, if a smaller antenna, 1.25"- 1.5" dia pole is fine.
