Upon getting to the top and having a look around, I figured that the little equipment building would provide the best wind break. The camera is looking almost straight into the wind (coming from the west). There was a convenient concrete slab to set my mast on (diesel fuel storage tank for the site's emergency generator), and I've routed my RG-58 coax from the antenna into the wind to the chain link fence. This allowed it to act as my primary guy, keeping the antenna from blowing over toward the camera.
