Guy,

About the only think you can do in that situation is pin the mast-to-boom plate 
to the mast. Many commercial boom-to-mast plates have a hole for that purpose.

BTW, a better place to ask this question is on the Tower Talk reflector.

I have a large 20M monobander with a 60' boom.    It seems that whenever the 
winds exceed a certain speed I will subsequently need to climb up to 160' to 
repoint the antenna.   My 40M 4 el beam doesn't seem to do this.   It is 
definately not rotator slippage because the 15M monobander is lined up just 
fine.
 
Any tips/tricks?
 
Thanks in advance,
Guy, N7ZG
