Not for this VE6! None of my HF antennas have a North stop. There are a
great many unusual bits of over the pole propagation the come in at
various slightly skewed paths, and the ability to seek the best signal
from NNW thru NE is very important to me.  

Of course, a "no stop" rotor system is the best solution of all - which is
what I have on the log periodic here.
