Lightning assisted rotor control.
Club Affiliation: River City Contesters
Wondered why bands sounded real dead at about 1900z Sunday.Noticed that
40m swr was not the usual KLM 2:1, but worse.
Rotator control failed and turned a few too many times.
Let's see 25000 lb-inches divided by 6 into ......Burst RG-8 x 3.
Gave up at that point. Tried to fix rotor, but........old technology.
43 hours. Horrible rain static on 160.
Now I know what to do with no-code advanced class club members.

I disagree. The "S" in M/S stands for "single transmitter".
There is nothing "single transmitter" at all about the CQWW
version, where you need to have 2, 3, or 4 operating positions,
each with separate rigs, antennas/bandpass filters, and networked
computers, to be competetive. This may be fun for those that
have enough equipment and operators to do it, but it's much
closer to a M/M. I like the arrl definition of M/S, which allows
2 or 3 operators to keep one rig on the air for the whole contest
without requiring a M/M station setup.

I don't know the answer to that but I'd say that I'm smack bang in the
middle of it!
