[TowerTalk] Rotors - your thoughts please.

[K8RI on Tower Talk]

I hadn't seen this original post before I replied late on in the thread so I 
have a couple of additional comments.
Although I recommended the Pro Sis Tel series in the other post, if you are 
only turning a TH6 at 60 feet the Ham III should be more than sufficient.

The T2X should be more than sufficient if it's in good shape and it's a long 
way from the $1300 to $2500 for the PST61 and 71 rotors.  Actually it's a 
long way from the much less expensive Alpha Spid as well.

This is why I went with the PST61

There are a lot of photos and even though small they add up and it might be 
slow to load.
