Way bigger than mine!

Does the Green Heron only detect free wheeling when
in debug mode, and not merely in normal "ON" mode?

Rick,

Here is a nice video I took of the antenna about a year ago.

Boom is 45G. Vertical Truss is 55G and side trusses are 25G.  Antenna
weighs something like 1500 pounds.

I have a Green Heron controller and if you leave it in debug mode it will
show movement in the motor with the reed switch pulses for indication.
Without a pot, you don't know where it is pointed, however.
