I am calculating the turning radius that is lost when using two sidemount
methods I have on-hand.
IIX RM-16 & Ringrotor
Turning radius of tower is: From the vertical leg (some distance below the guy
attachment point) to guy wire.
Turning radius of antenna is farthest tip to: to centerline of attachment mast
(for IIX)
or CG point on boom.(on a Ring) >> NB: This may be a director tip on larger
yagis.
Turning radius is NOT calculated from the centerline of the tower section.
These distances include sag of guy wire and one foot spacing from guywire.
Ringrotors (-3 feet or less)
This varies based on size or ring used and size of tower (Gap between vertical
leg and ring)
IIX RM-16's (-4.5 feet or less)
Are these distances accurate or too conservative ?
Is one foot away from the farthest antenna tip (reflector) to guywire enough
spacing ?
