As I struggle with my new install, I'm going to need 21 feet of pole, with a few in the ground. Filling a 2" pipe with 21 feet of concrete while standing on a roof is going to be a big chore.

Honestly not sure how wiggly it would have been
I read that alot of people were doing it so I did it to be on the safe side. I have
120cm dish on it and when winds pick up it's like a big sail.
I also made the bottom of the hole a little bit wider, cut the bottom of the pipe in a 45 degree angle and drilled 2 holes and added 2 rods through the pipe to prevent any twisting and turning. It's been looking good for couple of years now.
I will shamefully admit that I have not plugged in my receivers in almost a year now since last summer. I just haven't had time and I lost my "office" where all my stuff was since we had to convert it to a baby room
