[CQ-Contest] Yaesu rotor conversion to 220 volts

[Ryan Jairam]

If you really can't convert it to 220v one option is an inverter.

Get a 110VAC inverter and connect it to your 12V power supply. Make
sure the inverter and power supply has enough capacity to drive the
rotor.

"Modified sine wave" (square wave) inverters should be fine. True sine
wave inverters will be preferred of course but they can get expensive.
