[TowerTalk] foldover antenna bracket design

Is anyone interested in design detail for a bracket
which will allow a yagi to remain horizontal, while
the tower holding it is lowered to the horizontal?

I have pics of a design, and just threw out a draft
article I was going to provide to QST.

The design in question supported a Tennadyne T8, and
kept the elements from skewering my roof, while I folded
my rohn 45G over.  It's a scalable design, so could 
handle larger arrays with some adjustment.  

If there's interest in the idea, I can send .jpg
upon request.  If there's serious interest, I'll
reconstruct the article and submit it to QST.
