I'll feel better knowing it at least clears the roof, and is high as it can be without introducing noticeable sway.

The original 1-1/4" (approx. dia.) 2-piece 15-foot light gauge pole did have some sway with the original larger antenna, plus it would sing when it got windy. In addition a woodpecker took a fancy to it for a few years, I still remember the banging.

Most likely in the spring I'll put up a 10-foot pole, 1-1/2" diameter 16-18 gauge and just live with the results.

I'm already getting used to some distant channels not coming in when it snows, takes a while to reset my mindset.
