My pipe is about 14' out of the ground free standing and empty in the center. It really is not that big of a problem unless as Bill stated the pipe would bend/kink. I rarely lose signal on that dish. Only during very high winds/bad storms. That is with a solid foundation in concrete though. My pipe is standard black pipe.

I put 200 lbs of concrete into the hole and 25 lbs into the pipe itself. Just to clarify, the pipe does not bend/wiggle at the bottom (right at the concrete/ground level) at all. The pipe bends at the top (around 9.5 feet) from the concrete/ground level the most. The winds here are pretty strong I would say, last year my
STAB HH120 rotor with 100 cm antenna got completely wacked.
