[TowerTalk] Boom Supports

[Chuck Sudds]

Good Morning, fellow antenna enthusiasts!

I have a question that I would like your expertise and experience with.  
I would like to mount a long-boom 6 meter beam above my 20 meter 
monobander.  The mast extends about 6 feet above the 20 meter beam (I 
know that this is pretty close spacing but it is all I can manage so it 
will have to do!)  As you can see, there is no room above the proposed 6 
meter beam to mount a boom support guying system.  I have been thinking 
of mounting a short piece of angle iron, about 3-4 feet long, onto the 
boom-to-mast plate so that I can provide a support point for the boom.  
I understand that this is not an ideal situation but do you see anything 
wrong with this approach?

Thanks in advance!  Always enjoy the wealth of knowledge on this reflector!!
