Bob - K6UJ - and Tom - N2SR (off reflector response),
Thanks for the suggestions
I do have an Easy-on Mount but I have not used it. I wasn't sure if it
would be safe to rotate the boom to get the elements vertical and then
tilt the antenna using the Easy-on mount. BTW - the balun I am using is
a EB-2.
The C31XR is mounted close to the top of the tower. The tower has 4
guy lines. Rotating the boom might make it easier to get to the 15 & 20m
driven without dropping a guy line.
The bottom of the Easy-on Mount plate that is attached to the mast is
about 6" above the top of the tower plate. I am worried that I won't be
able to tilt the boom down far enough to reach the 20/15 driven from the
tower before the boom hits the plate at the top of the tower.
Have either of you (or anyone else) tilted a C31XR boom mounted close to
the top of a tower?

Syl,
The C31XR has Force 12's Magnum Easy On mount.
You can leave the boom attached to the mount and rotate the boom down
to where you can
reach the connectors, then rotate it back in place and secure.
Take a look at the Easy On mount in the manual. The plate against the
mast with 2 u bolts on top and bottom
stays intact. Leave these u bolts alone. Remove temporarily all but
one of the bolts securing the outer plate
to the mast plate, loosen the remaining bolt slightly and rotate the
boom.

I am feeding an C31XR with separate coaxes on each band. I have
faulty coaxes on 20 & 15 that I need to replace.
Does any know if there way to access the coax connectors on the 20m &
15m baluns that are taped to the boom near each driven element from
the tower so I can change the coaxes?
The 15m driven is about 70 inches from the tower and the 20m about 56
inches .
