[Towertalk] antenna help/suggestions wanted

For 20/17/15/12/10 Checkout the trapless Yagi sold by SteppIR antennas.  I
saw them at the Visalia CA DX session.  Quite impressive but don't know if
it meets all your mounting requirements.

Subject: [Towertalk] antenna help/suggestions wanted


   I am in the process of looking at some antennas to get back on HF after
several years hiatus.  I am more interested in later versions of trapless
tribanders ala Force 12 etc, than older TH7 trapped versions if possible. My
question is this.....Do all of these newer designs lend themselves to being
"sidemounted", either directly on the side of the tower ( for a rotating
tower configuration), or "sidemounted" with  the rotator outside the tower,
or even TICring setups???  Just looking at some literature online, its
impossible to  tell if they are made with enough spacing between elements to
allow for mounting on the side of Rohn 25 or Rohn 45 without element
interference sabatoging performance. I am considering Force12 C3 types, and
C31XR, and maybe the 40m variations.  Also I am not limiting the choice to
Force 12....any later model trapless tri/multiband antenna that excels will
be considered.
  Any ideas?  experiences? cautions? pitfalls?
  Thanks in advance.
