Greetings, Looks like it's going to be a lousy day.
We had a fairly strong breeze last nite and when I went "play radio"
this morn.
I noticed the the display on the DCU_1 would not light up.
Went outside and checked the direction of the beam (up abt 60' on a
US Towers MA-550) and the heading was 35+ degrees off from where I'd
left it.
I'm reasonably certain the beam slipped on the mast and not a problem
with the rotor.

Oh, I can turn the rotor via my logging program.

I can't drop the tower until Mon or Tue to check things out but and even
then
I'll be doing it alone.
Any ideas what the problem is.
I hope broken rotor wire.
Thanks for comments
