I want to thank everyone that replied to my question about controlling
rotators on distance towers.  The response was overwhelming with many
different approaches.  I am going to try locating a controller in a barn,
100 feet from the tower where I have AC power, and running CAT-5 cable as
control and position lines to the shack approximately 350 feet away.  I am
hoping that this will get me operational quickly and then I can work on a
wireless solution, perhaps using a WiFi connection to the barn, as time
allows.

Please pardon my slow response.  I really appreciate everyone taking the
time to share their experience and recommendations.

73,

George, KC1V
