I find these antenna discussions fascinating.
Mechanicals aside, how would you weather -and- insect proof such an affair?
In my neck of the woods, I'd also be worried about it icing up, then turning
it and (unknowingly) ripping the weather proof barrier/boot or roofing
shingles all apart.
Secondarily, how would you replace the "rubber boot" (or whatever) down the
road?
Many years ago now, in CQ or QST magazine there was a mobile VHF contest op
who had a system like this...mast through the roof of his van(?) and the
rotor inside on the van floor (I think). Maybe someone recalls the
details.
As Artie Johnson (1960-70's TV show-"Laugh in") used to say : "Very
interesting"
