[HCARC] Antenna Rotator

[Bill Tynan]

Gary:

I have had a Yeasu 2800 rotator up for abt 20 years and it has given no 
trouble. I can't say that for any other rotator I have ever used. The 2800 
is probably bigger than you will need for only a tri-bander. I believe that 
they have smaller units.

73,

Bill, W3XO/5
