[TowerTalk] Force on a dish?

[John D'Ausilio]

Can anyone point me to formulae for calculating the horizontal load on
a dish in various positions relative to the wind? Actually, the dish
is on a vehicle and I'm trying to decide if it's worth my time to
reconfigure so that the dish is facing backward instead of forward
during travel. Tower content: it's mounted atop the 20 ft crank-up
aluminum pole I've mentioned here previously .. but it's cranked down
during travel :)
