Hmmm, Boom length X weight? Not too bad really. Obviously a worst case approximation, but not so bad. Assume that the weight is distributed over a square that is the boom length on each side with the
I don't think I missed the point. True, I didn't use the term mass. True, weight is felt down. My 2 year old grandson knows that. Weight is *mass* felt down because of the acceleration necessary to o

I would want to see a terrain analysis, e.g., the effect of your terrain on the idealized pattern of your 40 meter antenna. But in general, the 70 foot height suppresses high angle radiation, and has
There is a *very large difference* between the pattern of a 2 el 40 yagi at 125 feet and at 92 feet. The (useless?) lobe at 75 degrees on the 92 foot antenna, raised to 125 feet, drops down to someth
