I was being Facetious to relieve my stress. But Seriously,,,I do think it just spun in the bracket. We had some Monster storms right about then.I am pretty sure I did NOT pin the mast. I have always thought it is better for it to spin/slip, than for something to snap/break.-----Thank You guys for your words of wisdom.Just for good memories... The tower, Hazer, Mast, & 40 meter Yagi I bought from Mrs. Paul Wynne AF5M, After Mr. Wynne passed. I promised her I would Never sell it & I won't.73, N5QJ______________________________________________________________On Sat, Sep 7, 2024 at 8:27 AM BILL KENNAMER <k5fuv@prodigy.net> wrote:Usually, I set the rotor to North, go up the tower with a pipe wrench, loosen the mast to rotor connection, use the pipe wrench to reset the mast in the correct direction, retighten and climb down.FUVOn Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 07:39:55 AM CDT, Stan Stockton <wa5rtg@gmail.com> wrote:Assume you are confident the mast didn’t slip in the clamp on the rotator or that it is pinned with no possibility of that happening?
