Well, guys there is some validity of the concern about a side mounted antenna or other, causing undo stresses on a tower. Wasn't there an article in last month's QST that talked about how most installations are not good and if the stresses are calculated, most towers could collapse? Little 2M beams may be one thing but larger HF antennas may be a future problem, regardless of the number of legs attached. Look around for that article and consult with its author and/or your own local structural engineer. Phil KB9CRY |
