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.
Thanks and 73,
