Why??????????

Melbourne tonight will be clear BUT average wind speed 40 kmh from the North. My backyard is north facing and it's way too breezy to set up and get some decent subs. WHY? WHY??????

Short subs?...
You can be sure if you don't set up there will be no wind...

Good luck

Hi Nik,

Maybe try a front yard setup tonight with the house to shield you, if there's not too much light pollution from streetlights and neighbours and if of course your setup is mobile. No doubt your dual/triband narrow filter/s will help somewhat compared to no filters in dealing with any extra light pollution.

Best of luck- you never know maybe the strong winds won't be very long lived.

Best
JA
