[Mldxcc] Rotator Mounting Question

[Robert Hess]

Jim,
For what it's worth, it can get pretty breezy on my hill top, just south of you.  I have not pinned my Yaesu rotator to the mast holding a Force-12 C19XR (11 elements).  Haven't had any slippage and the rotator has been happy.

 Subject: [Mldxcc] Rotator Mounting Question
   
Greetings,Here at WX6V, I’m getting the antenna system up and running again, with the invaluable help of George - KI6CG and Dennis - WU6X.
Now that the new Yaesu G-1000DXA rotor is installed in the tower - I’m wondering about the wisdom of following Yaesu’s instructions to pin the mast to the rotor. I did that but am having second thoughts. Seems like that may put undue stress on the rotor during windy conditions. 
I appreciate any insight others may have on this subject based on experience pinning masts to rotors. 
Thanks!!de Jim -WX6V-Auburn
