Wind Gust or Speed Limits May 12, 2016, 05:55:45 pm We''re experiencing 30 mph wind gusts and I'm reluctant to raise the TV antenna. Looking for guidance. Thanks in advance.
Re: Wind Gust or Speed Limits Reply #1 – May 13, 2016, 09:49:34 am Over-the-air antenna or something like the Winegard Trav'ler?The Trav'ler is supposed to take winds up to 50 MPH, although I usually put it down well before that. If you're talking about the over-the-air antenna, I don't know what the wind speed is that it can take, but with its thinner profile, I'd guess more than the Trav'ler can take. At 30 MPH, I probably wouldn't worry about it unless you're getting a lot of play in it and/or it's making a lot of noise.
