I'd love to but it took Dick Weber, K5IU, (a Professional Engineer) 2
3 pages of lots of calcs, graphs and illustrations to show it. It's in
Communications Quarterly from 94 and 95.
And it's wind torque. The torque of one antenna on one side of the
mast cancels the torque of the antenna mounted on the other side of the mast.
Two identical antennas mounted on opposite sides of a mast will result in
zero mast torque.
