It has been 5 days of nonstop high wind in the 25 to 50 mph at 45 ft. I held off finishing the feed line hookup until it all stopped.. Just to see if it would survive. Well after seeing this thing whip around alot. It has held its ground and looking good. I have read that these antennas swayed. It did but all is well.. I can get it all wrapped up now and at least know it's not going anywhere yet!

thats good that it stayed together . ive gone outside and looked at my verticle in winds like you mentioned and it stayed verticle , very little movement . if the whipping around doesnt adversly affect your tx and rx and the antenna survives is what matters most though .
