I haven't verified the numbers, but off the top of my head I'd bet that
W0MU's antenna loads (both weight and wind load) are higher than yours
by quite a bit.

Is that the RAK or BIG RAK?
I have a pair of BIG RAK SPID here which have worked great in the 2
years they are up. One of them has a 2 element moxon-like 40m JK, a
full size homebrew 30m and a 6 element 10 up top which I think is
probably similar in load to what you have.

It appears that my Alpha Spid cut loose in some heave wind recently.
I am looking to upgrade to something else. I am turning a 4 ele
SteppIR with the 30/40 loop and a 2 ele Cushcraft 40.
The Yaesu 2800 and Orion 2800 have been suggested. I heard that you
have to be careful with the Yaesu and the mounting bracket as you can
break it. I have a Green Heron Controller.
It has also been suggested to get the NV or LXC mounting brackets for
the Orion.
Any other thoughts?
