- I have a Yaesu 2800DXA rotor on my 40/30 antenna. Its rotor length to the antenna is 390 ft. I am using the 6 conductor 18 ga on the tower 80 ft. and 2X16 ga and 6X20ga with two extra wires added one

- Likely the current draw in colder weather is dropping voltage below rotor requirement. So, I would increase the wire to 2x14 and 6x18. I got mine from Wireman. 73, Keith NM5G On Wednesday, April 21

- Make sure there's >12VDC at the rotor. I have found that when all electrical issues seems OK, that it's time to look at degreasing the thrust bearing, then loading it with new grease. Also look to lu

- Hesitant to ask this but have you checked the voltage drop at the rotator? Might or might not be the problem. It could be you simply need a low temperature grease instead of the stuff that turns to a

- Since you have a GHE RT21 make sure your ramp starts at a higher point in the winter to kick it loose and get things moving. When at 10% starting my RAK would work fine in the summer but was "frozen"
