[TowerTalk] TH11 on Rohn 45 Side Mount

[Edward Seeliger]

Good afternoon Mike.

I have had a TH11 mounted on a TIC ring rotator on the side of my Rohn 45G tower for > 10 years.

It is mounted on the TIC mast adaptor on the TIC ring.
It is attached to the mast adaptor between the 2nd and 3rd driven elements from the rear (they are labeled 17DE and 15 DE on the assembly diagram - that happens to be where the diagram shows the boom to mast adaptor placed) using the Hygain supplied boom to mast clamp. I have it attached so there is 2-3 inches clearance between each of the elements and the tower legs as the ring/antenna rotates. For additional insulation I wrapped these elements with black electrical tape where they are in close proximity to the tower legs. 

This is NOT the weight balance center point so I added lead weights to the forward boom for weight balance.

I cannot say if this mounting distorts the pattern but it has worked well for me over all the years.
I hope this helps.
