[TowerTalk] Fixed Side Mount

[K1TTT]

Use the normal boom-mast clamp and put it on one leg of the tower.  Point it
where you want and run ropes from the boom to the other two legs of the
tower to hold it in place.  My 10m, 15m, and 20m fixed antennas are all done
that way... no extra hardware required, only a couple feet of rope.

Why spend all that money when you can homebrew one for about $25-$50.   
Been doing it for years.

You can  make a side mount without a problem,,, You said fixed, so I assume 
 
you
are not rotating this antenna....But be very careful,, when you get antennas
and mounts away from the center of the tower, you add a lot of  twist
loading to the structure if you go out more than 2-3 feet. Rohn  25 will not
take this too well if beyond those lengths.
Tessco   has any kind of sidemount you want,, and it will be all 
galvanized...look  them
up on the web.....GL...Dan N4GNR
