Most use a cross-arm to mount the antenna, even if the cross-arm is not rotatable in Elevation. Then you can attach the antenna in any elevation desired, and mount both a 2m and 70cm antenna, one on either side of the rotor for balance.

I suppose bending the mast pipe would work too. I hadn't thought of that.

With all the talk about tilting a Yagi 15 degrees above the horizon and using a rotor in azimuth only, I have a question. Since every Yagi I have includes mounting hardware to mount the antenna at a 90 degree angle to the mast, how do you tilt it 15 degrees? Do you put a bend in the mast pipe? Can you purchase hardware to allow the Yagi to tilt relative to the mast? Maybe everyone knows a simple answer but I will admit I do not.
