Yes, the PST2051 is far too small.
I have four of them.
On all 4 the worm shafts have been pushed out together with their bearing
during medium storms.
Antenna size was always less then 1 square meter and wind not stronger then
70km/h!

Hi guys...
About the OB4-40... heavy antenna!
If you install an OB4-40, you need at least PST 61 or 71
The 2051 is too small for this beast!!!
This was the recommendation from OB owner, Tom.
73 and good luck!
