Topband: Rotatable Flag

[Mike Knowlton]

Hi All,

I'm starting to put together a rotatable Flag,  I have a 10ft tripod
with the rotator mounted at about 2' 6". I plan to build it similar to
the description from W7IUV on page

http://www.axtek.com/w7iuv/w7iuv/flag.jpg

Are there any other mechanical designs out there that I could look over?

I want to try a variable termination using a vactrol   (see page):

How do I minimize the effect of the control wire that drives the
illuminating lamp?
Or is it nothing to worry about.
