[TowerTalk] rotating stacked yagis

[Bill Simpson]

Frank,
How about a 1 for 1 chain drive but you would defintely have to set up limit
switches.

Good Luck,

Subject: [TowerTalk] rotating stacked yagis
Sender: owner-towertalk@contesting.com

Is there a mechanism that would permit me to rotate a yagi mounted down from
the top of the tower by somehow transferring the mast rotation to it?

In other words, imagine a 72ft tower with a long mast running down to the
50ft level or thereabouts.  A single prop pitch or equivalent rotator turns
the mast.  No problem turning a yagi mounted at the top of the mast (above
the tower top), but can I also rotate one or more other yagis mounted down
from the tower top x feet by converting the rotation of the mast somehow so
it will turn the 'side mounted' yagi too?

I give up trying to describe this - hope someone understands me <g>
