for those of you wondering how wind resistant a wingarde 76 cm dish is..

Last night we had some real strong winds, my neighbor measured gusts of 60 mph on his home weather station. I was afraid that my winegard dish would be damaged, or at least would need to be re-aimed, but it survived intact and still aimed.

we had 60+ mph winds a bout a week ago sustained for about 15 minutes. The Winegard survived

Had to bump it one notch west for optimum signal, but it still works

Good to hear! i wish i bought one of those. all i have is a 1m multistar? and at 40km/h that baby looks more like a rocking chair then a sat dish. I've ended up bracing my dish with some steel rod to the top of the dish and screwed the other end into my roof which helps alot. That's what i get for trying to save a few $$.

I hit 80mph last week during a storm and it held up great.

Gone, Like my E* and D* signals. Only thing I got was my HD over the air to listen to tornado warnings. Well that and the loud freaking siren in my backyard.
