Nearly all of the all-metal yagis I've seen have the elements mounted
on top of the boom. I wonder why? 

If they were mounted under the boom, gravity would be working to keep
the boom in place instead of constantly trying to turn the boom over.
This is such a common design I'm wondering what am I missing?

Bill, W6WRT
