[TowerTalk] Side mounted tri-banders

[Gene Fuller]

Hi Dan -
I have a TH-6 mounted at 45 feet on a home brewed sidegate. I need +/- 2 
feet clearance around the mast to stay clear of the tower. I had to move the 
mast/boom plate slightly and move one element slightly to get the clearance. 
I added a small amount of weight inside one end of the boom to bring it to 
balance. Net result works great and is very nice to have in conjunction with 
my home brew 7-60 MHz LP at 100 feet.
Good luck with your project.
73's,    Gene /W2LU
