Antenna Considerations
uct differ widely, depending on the installation method, local terrain, and the maximum expected wind speeds at your
location.
The following pages described typical antennas which are acceptable for installation with the G-1000DXC or G-
2800DXC. The discussion below assumes maximum wind speeds of 30 meters per second, and it is recommended that
you include a safety margin of at least 40% to account for higher wind gusts or other factors which might potentially
cause damage to your installation.
Mounting of the rotator on a pole or mast results in a significant de-rating of the size of the antenna which can be
mounted, due to the tremendous bending forces applied to the rotator's clamps. For pole mounting, the product of
multiplying the [Antenna Wind Load Area (in m )] by the [Height of the Antenna Mast (in m)] must be less than 0.45
(G-1000DXC) or 0.8 (G-2800DXC). See below Table and Figure.
[ Antenna Wind Load Area ] x [ Height of Antenna Mast ] = 0.45 (G-1000DXC)
Refer to the antenna manufacturer's specification sheet for determining the weight and the surface area of the proposed
antenna.
For a 14 MHz 3-element Yagi of Surface area of 0.7 m (see Table 1), the above specifications for pole

mounting will be met if the antenna is mounted on a mast not longer than 0.4 m (0.7 m x 0.4 m = 0.28
= 0.28 [ 0.45 x 40% safety margin ] : G-1000DXC), or 0.6 m (0.7 m x 0.6 m = 0.42 < 0.48 [ 0.8 x 40% safety margin ] :
G-2800DXC).
We recommend that your antennas/mast should not exceed 60% of the maximum rating, to ensure a
