[TowerTalk] High VSWR

[dj7ww at t-online.de]

Yes, that is the only reason for me to counter weight the boom, to have it straight when I pull up or lower the antennas.
I do all my antenna work alone with the help of an electrical winch and need the booms always straight for mounting them.

I understand the objectives and mechanics of wind torque balancing of a 
beam. Leeson explains how to do this with round elements so it works at 
all wind angles.  (Physical Design of Yagi Antennas, chapter 6)

However, I don't understand why a counter-weight balanced beam is  a 
benefit other than when tramming the beam and for on the tower work.
