Topband: Re: DC motor for turning remote cap

[Roy Koeppe]

Concerning:

"Can someone suggest a dc motor for turning a remote capacitor on an
inverted L?  Sears has a battery operated screwdriver on sale for $9.98,
but it is a 150rpm.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Pat, K8PC"

I'm not sure why you want a 'DC' motor, but a low priced TV antenna
rotator (remember Alliance?) is cheap, and it turns about 1-RPM. It has
a control dial which can be marked and calibrated directly in frequency
across the 160M band. Just use a semi-flexible shaft coupling or a
mounting which has a little give to it.
