Also, the AlphaSpid RAK and Big RAK allow you to put the rotator pretty
much wherever you want in the tower, generally the lower the better.
Additionally, instead of the pin base plate, you can run another section
out of the bottom of the RAK/Big RAK and then terminate the mast at a
base plate somewhere further down the mast thus transferring all the
torque to a point much lower in the tower.
But even as I type this, I think I remember this being a crank down
tower situation.... If so....
Disregard and apologize for the tangent. <smile>

The small Alfa Spid rotator, the RAK, is smaller in diameter than the bell
shaper rotators. But as was mentioned, the motor will stick outside the
tower. Now, the Alpha Spid has a tube mount and requires a pin base to sit
on. A heavy galvanized pin mount is available that is drilled to bolt to
Rohn AS25G shelf. The mast tube is heavy duty and features 8 bolt
locations.
