    Stan's article was the first to address mast forces. But according to 
Dick Weber, K5IU, PE, Stan's article has some errors in it. Unfortunately he 
didn't elaborate on them or provide the proper equations. 

    The better and more accurate mast forces info is in Dave Leeson's, W6NL, 
ex-W6QHS, book "Practical Design of Yagi Antennas" which I think is out of 
print.
