I have extended my HDX-5106 a considerable distance horizontally
to get to the rotator, supporting only the bottom section.
However, I would like to be able to extend it all the way
for troubleshooting a problem that occurs just before reaching
full height.  It is non trivial to support the sections other
than the bottom one as they are moving.

(An HDX-589 is the same as the top 5 sections of an HDX-5106).
