New Project putting up a 40ft. Tower...                                                                     
What I am going to do is Install the tower up against the Mobile Home..
Use the RL-500XL Remote Control Rotor..
to rotate the 3 element beam for 15,20, meters..

I really like the looks of this unit...
it only uses a 3 conductor cable...
I  just hope it can Handle the load I'll be putting on top of it...
The very top Diamond Vertical X500HA 2/70cm 18ft. 8.2/11.0 db gain tall. for (Voice)
4 Element 2 Meter Beam for.... (Packet)
all on a 10ft. piece of Pipe sure glad its a crank up Tower for the 70/80 mph wind we have here
My Idea is to put the big 3 Element Beam. close to the Rotor so it will not move as much in the wind.. I figure only about 4" bite of the pipe into the Rotor itself.. right now I have sort of the same setup Minus the Big Beam in a Light duty Radio Shack Rotor and its been up there for 2 years. with No Problems...
