[TowerTalk] Why are elements mounted on top of boom?

[alsopb@vance.net (alsopb@vance.net)]

Guys,

A question:

Why are yagi elements mounted on top of the boom, perched precariously
on a mountain, rather than slung underneath?

It seems to me mounting them underneath would be less prone to element
rotation.  Also, it seems to me it would also reduce the tendency for
the boom to rotate at the boom/mast point?
