[TowerTalk] Swinging gate side mounts

[doug johnson]

Hi Gary, out at the end of the IIX  RM-16 sidemount (swinging gate mount) are
two 2"
u bolts to mount the antenna pipe, which can be above , below, or both
directions and
will hold your beam below ok.  I know of amateurs who have mounted stacked six
meter beams in this fashion.........Doug, W9IIX
