[TowerTalk] stacking antennas

[John Langdon]

In general, you bolt the booms to the tower legs with two "boom to tower"
brackets, instead of just one boom to mast bracket.  You have to watch some
antennas with very little spacing between elements, but the rotating tower
is usually more forgiving than a swinging gate in that regard.  You may also
have to pay careful attention to the weight and wind load balancing if you
have lots of antenna load, and some antennas when placed to balance the
weight on both sides of the tower have uneven wind loads or will have a DE
too close to the tower.

I intend to mount several antennas on a rotating tower. How do you attach
the antenna to the tower?
