Hi Rudy.
So far I do not know about a lightning attack here :-).
I'm not quite sure if the antenna is being rotated with the same speed as the
needle does. But of course I'll have a look at it.
Will give it a try with the presets. Once I was out it seemed that the antenna
did rotate according to the needle, but I'm not sure.
Well I'll be back when I have done the test.
Tnx for your kind replying.
