A yaesu 800 is in place inside the tower, is it going to harm the  rotor 
being horizontal?
 
    Yessireebob. The rotator is only weatherproof  when it's mounted in its 
normal vertical position. There aren't any gaskets or  anything to keep the 
water out so you could either take it out or cover it  with something - then 
you'd be okay.
