Usually not necessary to rebalance the antenna since most of the antennas,
if you mount them at an angle to the swing arm at around 45 degrees,
everything will be fine.
In the event that repositioning IS necessary, there are a couple of ways to
go. Put the appropriate amount of weight at the end in the boom...rebar
etc. Then fill it with "Stuff" or some other foam to hold it in place.
Another way to go is to secure a piece or two (whatever is required) to the
boom by way of hose clamps etc. There are other ways to go on this too.

OK, next question.My first question was poorly worded for what I needed,
but several of you got the idea I was trying to portray.Thanks.I hope
this next question gives a better description of my needs.
In order to mount my antenna(s) on the antenna mast of a swing-gate
mount, I have to offset or alter the normal balancing point of the
antenna boom to allow the antenna elements to miss the tower.What is the
proper way or how do I properly weight the "lighter end" to make the new
boom-to-mast location "balanced?"
