I tried this about 15 hours ago, but it's not shown up so I'll try 
again. My apologies if it shows up twice.

I know we've had several discussions on "Ring Rotators", but I haven't 
found anything on using them with tri-banders.
 I'd like to mount my TH-5, or 6 or new large 30-10 multibander just 
above the second set of guys, (~70') but I'm limited to size for guy 
clearance.  (I'm using Phillystran) I have my doubts about interaction 
with the 45G which is a pretty good size chunk of steel stuck up through 
the antenna. Has any one on here tried this, or modeled it to see what 
the effects are on the antenna.  I'd expect some degradation, but how 
bad could I expect? Is it even worth trying.   That'd free up the top of 
the tower for something on 40 along with the 7L C3i 50 Hz Yagi.
