[TowerTalk] Upside down mast

[Richard M. Thorne]

I've been doing alittle thinking on masts.  A while back someone
told me about, what I call an upside down mast.  It looks like this:


		        |
			|
			|
			| <----Regular Mast
		     ___|
	             |	|
		     |__|
		     | | | <-----Tower
 Lower Mast--------> | | |	
		     | | |
		       | |
		       | |

This is not a very good illustration but hopefully it depicts my 
thoughts.  Basically its similar to a side mount except that another
mast is going down (assume the top 10' of tower is unguyed).

Has anybody tried this?, it maybe a good way to maximize the mast 
that you have.  I was thinking of putting a tribander on the top mast
and a 2 element 40 on the lower mast.
