[TowerTalk] ALFA SPID ROTATOR

[W7JEN at aol.com]

Had a chance to get a good look at the ALPHA SPID rotator  while attending
the last  NW  DX Convention in Vancouver,  B.C.

It looked very  interesting , especially the worm-drive feature,  and  small 
number
of wires (4) for drive power  and indicator functions. Looks like a very good 
replacement for my T2X installed atop a 110 ft. fir  tree!!

However, didn't meet any one that was using  the rotator in the U.S., and
would like to hear  some comments regarding  reliability , installation 
problems (especially as related to mast mounting,  control and  indicator system 
operation, etc.  

Any user comments, either pro or con would be much appreciated.

            Thanks in advance,  es 73     Duncan   w7jen at aol.com
