[TowerTalk] C31XR question

[VE5ZX]

Bob - K6UJ - and Tom - N2SR (off reflector response),

Thanks for the suggestions

I do have an Easy-on Mount but I have not used it. I wasn't sure if it 
would be safe to rotate the boom to get the elements vertical and then 
tilt the antenna using the Easy-on mount. BTW - the balun I am using is 
a EB-2.

The C31XR is mounted close to the top of the tower.   The tower has 4 
guy lines. Rotating the boom might make it easier to get to the 15 & 20m 
driven without dropping a guy line.

The bottom of the Easy-on Mount plate that is attached to the mast is 
about 6" above the top of the tower plate. I am worried that I won't be 
able to tilt the boom down far enough to reach the 20/15 driven from the 
tower before the boom hits the plate at the top of the tower.

Have either of you (or anyone else) tilted a C31XR boom mounted close to 
the top of a tower?

tnx - Syl - VE5ZX
