The 10 ft boom spec is rather arbitrary. For instance, they
make no reference to element length, i.e. 20M vs. 2M !
The REAL consideration is rotational torque. The C3 is a
pretty light antenna with only a 10M director out in front.
Having seen TH6's on 24 ft booms survive for years on
HDBX towers, I suspect there would be no problem with a C3.
