Movement in the wind doesn't change the angle of the beam enough to matter.  Bigger problem is the whole pole moving from settling earth, or twisting when it dries out.  Those issues seem to stop coming up after a few years.

....in any case, I definitely agree that a 5ghz dish is less of a problem.

60 foot utility poles go 8 feet in the ground in our area resulting in a 52 
foot above ground option and you can extend that with the pipe to pipe clamp 
and some rigid conduit. They are not cheap to get in the ground but I do have 
the equipment to do it. The nice thing about them is you can put them in the 
right of way with the proper permits. I would not recommend using them for 
licensed back holes because they do move substantially at the top in the wind 
and makes it very difficult to align them but for 5 GHz they work fine

What are some cheap and easy options you guys have used to get remote 
subscribers connectivity? Many rural subscribers have break over poles that can 
reach 20-25 ft. I'm looking for 40-50 ft options. Looking to mount Force 300-25 
or 450b HG SM's.
