[TowerTalk] Any Economical Options for a Ring Rotor?

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I have some bad news for you.  I have lots of experience with the  KT34XA 
and KT36XA, as well as sidemount  rotors.  The spacing of the  XAs elements 
are such that the elements touch the tower when just mounted as a  sidemount 
that allows around 120 degrees.  In order to get the antennas to  rotate 
that 120 degrees you have to move the first director a couple of inches  
forward... at least on a Rohn 55 tower and the 45 is pretty close in size.   A 
swinging gate could not be used at all for that reason.
