[TowerTalk] Loose Rotator Bolts

[Matt T Powell]

Hi, 
    Has anyone experienced rotator / plate  mounting bolts loosening up,
to the point of falling out ?  I have had 2 cases of this happening,
which were discovered this weekend. 
   
     Both rotators were T2X's. One turns a 2 element 40 meter yagi and
the other turns a stack of monobanders on 10-15-20 meters. Each rotator
was installed this spring. All mounting bolts had 1 flat and 1 "split "
lock washer on them. All were installed with a small amount of grease on
the threads.

    Maybe a "star" washer would correct the problem ? Thoughts or
comments.

 				73   Thanks   Matt   W3UUM
