Anyone done much work with side mounts?
I think I heard somewhere you can get ~300degrees of rotation from them.
(true?)
What about something like an A3S on a side mount?  The driven element is
right at the boom-to-mast bracket.
Would you need to somehow offset mount that bracket and add a counterweight
to the front or back of the boom
so you could get the elements "away from the tower" as it were?

Thanks,.
