You obviously don't understand STATIC FORCES
and BENDING MOMENTS. The weight of your
antenna applied the the mast which is resting on the
collar of your tower which then acts as a fulcrum,
puts a sideload on a rotor mounted inside a tower.
The further the antenna from the top of the tower,
the greater the sideload.
