[TowerTalk] Rotator Wire Vendor

[Fred Roberts]

Wayne-

I measured the voltage at the rotator end of a 150 ft cable run, and noted how low 
the voltage was.  Then I used a transformer to boost the voltage at the source.  Net 
result, the voltage at the rotator is right on.

You might consider this approach.
