I was wondering how wind effects the Tx and Rx on the long antennas,  I am going to stick a big long bendy thing on the side of my house very soon Very Happy

Your wind or the weather's? Very Happy

It shouldn't "blow" your signals away Bernie. Wink

Only becomes a problem if it blows your antenna down, snaps it in half or some other horrendous fate befalls it. I have heard people make mention of 'picket-fencing' (where a signal flutters in and out rapidly) but have only heard that myself with mobile stations rather than homebase antennas blowing in the wind.

Mind you most people unplug if there's also threats of thunderstorms! Shocked

Best of luck with your new antenna plans. I have wind here. 1f44d

I've watched a few of Kate 26CE01's YouTube videos using a bent Sirio 5000 and she does pretty well 👍🏼😁

I overlook the Irish sea but the wind from it doesn't overlook me.
Never a problem apart from verticals bend a bit but i don't have any.

If it stays up it's not big enough. Laughing

That makes good logical sense, so the theory is when it falls down make one 1 inch shorter . Laughing
