I do not need to rotate them, but would like to have the vertical mounting mast several inches off the tower to facilitate pointing the antennas where I need to.  The tower I am mounting the antennas to is a US Tower HDX-538 38' crankup.  Crank-ups have significant challenges as you can't have mounts that obstruct the telescoping ability of the tower.

My initial thought was: "I thought US Tower made such attachments," but 
I see I was wrong. *Perhaps* you could do a beefed-up version of their 
coax standoff arms.
