By the way, it would be a very good idea to buy another
rotor plate, and put the rotor two feet further down in the
tower.

By doing that, when it is time to replace the rotator (about
every 4 years) you will be able to secure the mast to the
original rotor plate, using brackets. This will give the
mast a two-point suspension while you replace the rotor.
Otherwise, it's a pain, because when you remove the rotor
bolts, the mast and antennas try to flop over.
