Anyone have any opinions on using a 1 1/4" 10' EMT from Lowes with a "Ronard 4560 Adjustable Universal Eave Mount (4560)" to mount a "Winegard HD8200U"?

My plan was to have about 2' below the peak braced by the eve mount and then 8' above the peak.

It seems pretty sturdy and much heavier and sturdier than the RCA 5' swedged masts that they sell with the RCA antennas.

I know there is better stuff out there. Just wondering if this would work. It gets windy here sometimes but were not talking like gale force winds or anything. I'd say the most we've gotten is 30-40 mph gusts and that's a rarity.

I've been trying to figure out the actual gauge of the tubing but cant seem to a direct answer. Someone posted in the Q & A that its a little less than 1/8" thick. Here's the link: http://www.lowes.com/pd_72717-1792-1...ductId=3129557

Thanks.
