[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 709068, member: 310216"] Headman, It's probably a combination of the rain and the wind. Short of you going outside with a torch and looking to see if the dish is wobbling on the mast excessively it's hard to be definite. Unfortunately the bigger the dish the more it's susceptible to breakup if it goes "out of alignment" due to the weather. The only two things I can suggest are either lowering it down the mast to lessen the 'sway' effect, unless you had to mount it there because of line of sight issues. Or, use some wire bracing struts attached to the mast below the motor and then either pegged into the ground or by some sort of eye bolt mounted on that other outbuilding wall I can see in your photo. Someone else may have a more useful solution. (Don't think Gaviscon will help either LOL) [/QUOTE]
