-secure the 2 screen halves behind the bow ties with wire or nylon ties

-stabile the mounting system

-use heavy duty high gauge mast (as mentioned above)

-shorten/trim the mast so it does not sway if you notice the system swaying

-use a thrust bearing if you use a rotor...if there is too much play, the antenna moves
