[TowerTalk] location of boom guys?

[John Lemay]

Hi Dick

It depends somewhat on whether you have a tapering boom or not, and the
distribution of load (elements) along the boom, but a rule of thumb I use is
to go out 2/3rds of the length to the tip.

Hello.

This question has undoubtedly been asked before, but I cannot find much in
archive.

Are there some articles which have appeared somewhere with discussion of
where to locate the guys on long Yagi booms?

Like, a percentage of total boom length?

Thanks in advance for whatever help some of you may be able to offer.
