Hi, Barry --

     I don't recall offhand seeing any sidemount forces in the Rohn book
specifically relating to sidemounted antennas.  I'll wade through it again if
I get a chance.

    The best analysis of sidearm stress was done by Dick Weber, K5IU, and
appeared in the DX Magazine, Sept/Oct 1995.  Chod may be able to supply you
with a back issue.  If not, let me know and I can mail you a copy.  It's
called "Torque Requirements for Side-ARm and Ringrotor Mounted Yagi
Antennas".

73 and good luck,  Steve  K7LXC
