Hi Rob -
If you can settle for about 270 degrees of rotation, I'm sure that many
would suggest a DIY sidegate. With a 50-60 degree forward beamwidth you
really wouldn't miss much and they're fairly easy to build - a few feet of
inch and a half by 1/4" angle stock, a short piece of inch and a half pipe,
a few U-bolts and a small piece of steel or aluminum plate for mounting a
rotator. A local welding shop is helpful, but bolts, a drill and a hack saw
will do it, and you're in business.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Any Economical Options for a Ring Rotor?
Hi All,
I have been gifted a KT-34XA and have thoughts of stacking it on my 100'
of Rohn 45 that presently has a lonely 20 meter monobander on top. Are
there any economical solutions for rotating it?
Thanks & 73,
Rob
