[TowerTalk] High VSWR

[Patrick Greenlee]

Mounting the boom to the mast/rotor at the center of the antenna's 
aerodynamic drag greatly reduces/eliminates wind induced torque. Two 
basic ways to achieve aerodynamic balance: 1. select the boom mounting 
position to balance drag and or 2.  add a drag device to provide balance 
(fin etc.)
