I have a question that was asked of me and I thought I would put it to the
group.
A friend needs to control his rotor from a rather long distance of 750 feet
away.
My first thought was ditch the 'traditional' rotor box and just run power to a
step-down transformer
of the correct value and use wireless video for a 'spotter' to check direction.
Then I thought, is there a company that builds a digital encoder/decoder for
this exact application?
Of course, lighting protection is always a issue.
BTW, thanks everyone on the dipole help. The wire went up Sunday, but Monday I
gave birth
to a 1.2mm bouncing baby kidney stone! It was my first and, WOW! Anyway, the
dipole is delayed
a bit while I recoup.
Also to answer another question about that antenna, it is for mulit-band use
and I live on a hillside
so an inverted 'L' was a no go first off.
Thanks all and
73,
Lee
