Good morning all,  Here are a few numbers on the 2 element 80 meter
OptiBeams that will be mounted on a rotating 200 foot Rohn 55G tower.  The
yagis will be mounted at 93 and 200 feet.  The yagis weigh approximately 250
pounds each, and have a boom length of about 34 feet, and a turning radius
of about 42 feet.  They have a wind loading of 20 SQ. Ft.

I am giving you rough numbers because the factory specs are given in metric
measurements.  We also have a used 2 element 80 meter OptiBeam that will be
cut down for use as a 60 meter yagi which will be mounted on a separate 89
foot motorized crankup.

 

Hope these figures are helpful.
