What must be considered is NOT the weight of the antennas, but the
wind load and torque load.
Tailtwister will turn the whole thing with no problem.
What is the windload of the antennas and the tower rating? Those are
what should concern you.
Good luck .. I have a lot of those self-supporting aluminum towers.
They perform well when antenna load ratings are less than the tower
specs.

I would like to run this by the group. I presently have a self
supporting 50 foot aluminum tower with a 6 element 6 meter beam.
What I would like to do is hang 2 pieces of tubing from the boom
each side of the mast and mount some loop yagis for 902, 1296 and
2304. My thought is to form a square that would clear the tower
section by an inch or so. The loopers would mounted off this "box".
Hopefully this makes sense. The rotor is a tail twister. The
antennas add up to 44 lbs not including any framework. Mike
