The antenna setup just passed its first test yesterday when hit with 45-50 mph winds and torrential rain.

A situation I had not thought of is the birds congregating on the beam elements. It seems to mainly be morning doves that do this. They grow to a healthy size around here and I can see the elements bending a bit when they sit there.

It has all the makings of a good arcade game but I am sure I'd miss the birds and hit the elements. Next time I have the antenna down I'll have to put something on the boom that scares them away.
