I'm planning on side-mounting a 5el 10m yagi at about 50 feet.
(Looks like a 105CA has enough clearance at the mounting point to
rotate around the tower on a side-arm)

The main focus here is on contesting (primarily stateside but some DX).
Location is Georgetown, KY.

One tower face runs N/S and the other leg points West, so it looks like my
potential blind spots are:

Rotor mount leg		Blind spot
-------------------------------------
North (CW)		270-330
North (CCW)		90-150
South (CW)		30-90
South (CCW)		210-270
West (CW)		150-210
West (CCW)		330-30

So what would be the "preferred" blind spot???? And why?
