O.K. we know that a alpha V-5/8 antenna,
can handle 50+ wind gust..
What is the BREAKoff speed?
The point at which it will break ?

mine has been up for over 21 years now, maybe over 22. it has survived 75+ mph winds during 1 particular blizzard. it has been through a few other blizzards, plus hurricane bob in 1991(?). nothing on it has ever broken. its mounting pole has bent & come down twice, it bent 2 ground plane elements once & the main antenna once. bent 'em back into relatively straight shape & it keeps on tickin'. cost me $59 back then, and worth every penny  . |
