KA/KU Pole Mount
I want to relocate my AT-9 KaKu 5-LNB dish.
It's currently mounted on the roof of my 2-story house. I was never a
big fan of locating it there because of high winds in this area, but
at the time the installer said that was the best place. Oh well, live
and learn - I've already had to climb up there and realign it twice
due to winds.
Anyway, I want to relocate it off to the side of a deck I have and
mount it onto a mast, into a concrete base. I've called Ironwood
Communications (the local installer) to inquire what is needed and
they say it --has-- to be a 2" OD pipe.
The local big-box places (Lowe's & Home Depot) only have back iron or
galvanized plumbing pipe and galvanized electrical conduit - the
closest sizes being 1-1/2" - that's 1-1/2" ID and 1-7/8" OD. I even
called a couple local fencing contractors and that's all they have
too. Fence posts also tend to be thinwall.
The question is; will 1-7/8" OD suffice? I can't seem to find any
heavywall pipe that's -EXACTLY- 2" OD anywhere.
Any ideas?
