Ya think?!?
Dick, K5IU, sent me a marked-up copy of Stan's article pointing out
several errors so I would discount the W7NI information. Dick is a PE and Stan
is
not - you can draw your own conclusions.
I had a mast stress program written using the info in Dave Leeson's,
ex-W6QHS now W6NL, book, Physical Design of Yagi Antennas. It's called MARC -
Mast And Rotator Calculator - Program. It's available for ten bucks from
_www.championradio.com_ (http://www.championradio.com) .
