Hmmmm,
Jon, this second idea sounds really intriguing !

How do you get the rotor from spinning around (and not just the
mast/antenna) ?
Also, how do you H20-proof the rotor?
Wouldn't the guy wire have to be really tight?  Would the swaying of trees
break the line?

I have some tall trees here and "might" like to try something like this.
