[TowerTalk] Keeping antenna for rotating on mast

Yaesu recommends pinning the mast to their rotators.  Either way it still
won't stop the antenna from rotating on the mast.

Usually those things slip for a reason which prevents you from having to
purchase a new rotator. OTOH sometimes they slip just due to a poor mast
clamp.   Still it's not a good idea to pin the mast to the rotator unless
you have a rotator that is nearly indestructable and that eliminates all the
non worm gear drive rotators.
