[SCCC] Antenna rotor insulation

[Timothy Coker]

I left the same tower at my dad's qth from my college days. I am familiar
with what your working with. What about using plywood and attaching some
sound proofing mats? Thinking something that would muffle and port the
sound to a desired direction? Same sort of things guys do to quiet down and
redirect sound from generators...

Also, FB on the tower upgrade.
