[Towertalk] Prosistel Rotors

[n4kg@juno.com]

Sorry to hear about the broken rotor Jose.

In order to NOT miss the DXpedition, I suggest
putting a rope over one end of the boom and tieing 
it down so that the beams are aimed in the desired
direction.  A sling shot and fishing line can be used
to get over the boom, then pull up a light string, and
then pull up the tie down rope.
