Al,
A nearby ham had the same vibration problem with his UST MA-40 monopole on a
house bracket. I think he wrapped the pole with rubber sheeting where the
bracket clamps onto it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Wind noise
I have a short tower bracketed to the house adjacent to my shack. See QRZ
page. C3, 6M3 and 2M7. I have a low frequency noise when the wind blows and
I suspect the C3 is the source. Sounds like an airplane is flying close by.
Rotating the antenna so that it is perpendicular to the wind direction
diminishes the volume somewhat.
It is not a huge deal, but I'd like to keep the antenna pointed into the
wind when it blows. Is there any simple way to eliminate or cut down on the
noise?
