I just finished most of my tower project, but like the big dummy That I can
be at times with pre senior moments, I noticed where the mast goes into the
yaesu rotator the clamps are pretty much tightened right up to the clamp
bracket. I am using 1.75 in sch 80 steel for material. Now the dumb question
anybody know of a way I can fatten up the portion of the mast that goes into
the rotator? I really do not want to remove a 150 pounds of antennas to
change out the mast. I think with the thrust bearing I could slip out the
rotator if necessary. I just don't want to have to readjust the rotator
indicator everytime we have a high wind. Mere words alone can't express how
stupid this oversight was
