[SixClub] Antenna Rotator for six meter use

[Dennis Kaylor]

no problem george
if you dont have a tower a TV type rotor will work as long as you dont 
have to much high winds
those type rotors dont have much of a brake in them and that 20ft boom 
will tend to pin wheel on the mast
and you will spend all your time calibrating the rotor control...grin
