[TowerTalk] Problems with YAESU Rotor

[Ron Castro]

Mike:  My advice is to go with Hy-Gain.  A friend of mine across town had
his Yaesu  G-800 rotator destroyed the same way you described, while in the
same storm, my Hy-Gain Ham-V, mounted external of the tower with about the
same load, survived with no problems.

Ron, N6AHA
