[TowerTalk] Inverted vee mounted above HF Yagi

[David Gilbert]

In my opinion the simplest way to accomplish that sort of thing is to 
suspend a horizontal rigid arm a meter or so long from the top of the 
mast using a short piece of rope.  Fasten the trapped dipole to the 
rigid arm using clamps, zip ties, tape, or whatever.  If long enough, 
the rope will wind itself around the mast as it turns but the leverage 
of the rigid arm should keep the trapped dipole from doing so.

I want to extend the stub mast about 20ft above the A3WS to support the centre of a 160/80/40 trapped inverted vee. I'm looking for some type of mount that will allow me to mount the centre of the inverted vee at the top of the stub mast and remain fixed whilst the stub mast rotates. Ideas/advice would be great.
