Here is what happens. (the TV antenna in the foreground mounted to the
service drop isn't mine, it's my
idiot neighbor. It's 20 ft away it just doesn't look it in the pic)
If the A3S was mounted 2 inches above the tower instead of 2 feet, it
probably would have survived.
Doesn't matter, I don't use them anymore.

I too used an aluminum 2 inch 6061T6 20 foot .375 wall mast with a TH7 in
Portland OR for years without a problem but do agree that a good steel mast
like chromalloy is a better choice; I used it because it was available for
the right price. I would not trust the aluminum with much wind load in
sustained high winds like the coast where I now live.
