[TowerTalk] bottom or top?

[Mark S Graalman]

  I've always put the elements on top of the boom.
No particular reason, I just thought if the elements are on top
then the boom itself fully supports the weight of the elements
and the element to boom clamping only has to keep the elements from
sliding or rotating.
