Hi List,

Have a question.  I will be installing fixed monoband yagis on a crankup tower. 
 I do not need to rotate them, but would like to have the vertical mounting 
mast several inches off the tower to facilitate pointing the antennas where I 
need to.  The tower I am mounting the antennas to is a US Tower HDX-538 38' 
crankup.  Crank-ups have significant challenges as you can't have mounts that 
obstruct the telescoping ability of the tower.

Is there anyone that has a design for these types of side-mount antennas?  
(Small monobanders, 4-5 elements, on 20-10m)

My initial thought was: "I thought US Tower made such attachments," but I see I was wrong. *Perhaps* you could do a beefed-up version of their coax standoff arms.
