I get the mount It once and leave it deal but what I had up for antenna wasn't going to be my permanent install. It got me on air and did quite well for what it was. The 1" pipe that I use is well braced and has proved to be strong enough for a light weight antenna like a sirio tornado or A99 without the GP kit at the 27ft. Height I have used them at. I wouldn't go higher without more bracing or having to use some guyed wires. For now though I would just lower my mast if I knew a cane was coming. It handles the summer t-storms here just fine and has for the last 3 summers without any issues. I check my mast often and all seems to be okay still and also currently it's empty and down. If I place a larger antenna up this time, I have other plans.
