Hi, Matt --
The EIA/TIA-222-F is only for tower structures; antennas don't have a
similar standard. Do you have a copy of Dave Lesson's, W6QHS, book on
Physical Design of Yagi Antennas? It is the only published info I know of on
wind balancing/compensating elements. Dave kind of 'invented' this
technique.
