I currently have a quad-pod (not a mini-tower but a 2" mast supported by
4 legs at the peak of my roof) with a mast-mounted rotor supporting a
TA-33jr and a 40m dipole (2' from beam and in parallel with boom). The
beam is on top about 2.5ft. from the rotor. I would like to upgrade to
a TA-53 with the 30m add-on element and still keep the 40m. mounted
below as is currently. However, this increases my total overall wind
surface area from 5.6ft-sq. to 9.5ft-sq. Is this going to be too much
for a mast-mounted rotor assembly? The rotor is a Ham-M and the manual
provides no specs. for this kind of arrangement. Guess I should call
Hy-Gain too. Maybe I'm trying to do too much here. Thanks for any
advice.
