I have a KLM 20M, 6 el Beam up on Rohn 45 at 135 feet.

If you are familiar with this beam, you know it is not geometrically
centered, one end of the boom is 4 feet longer than the other.

It turns in the wind.

Has anyone done the calculations to add something to the short side of
the boom to balance the wind? Add an extra 3" piece to the short end?

I am looking for the best solution.   Does anyone have one they have
used before on this antenna?
