[QUOTE="ralphmagno, post: 675644, member: 189146"] hello dishdick seen the pictures and dish looks ok right. the base from the pictures i see look like the hollow cement blocks filled in. is this correct? the base probaly needs to be bigger and heavier as well. also if you can remove the az mount and cut the hight down but not too much down so you will still be able to align the dish. it is based on a rotation arround a falcrum. this will reduce the sail affect as well. if there was no dish on this base and it blew over like this with just the base it tells me its too light. if the dish is not bent it is still usable as well. ralph [/QUOTE]
