You shoulda seen my 5 element 20 meter yagi getting tossed around in the
wind yesterday.  I wish I had purchased Yagi-Stress before I put it up.
Next time it comes down I'm adding the compensation to it, so this doesn't
happen again.  

Anyway...  I had the antenna pointing at about 30 degrees.  All of a sudden
it wont turn clock-wise.  Turns find counter clockwise.  The limit switch
comes to mind, but at 30 degrees?  I've tried another control box with same
results.  Any other ideas out there?  Like the guy in Maine, I'm trying to
get smart to minimize my time on the tower in the cold next weekend.

73 & thanks.

Bill
