[TowerTalk] Rotator Choice....Yaesu 2800 or Yaesu 1000??

[WD0M]

I'm using a Yaesu G-1000SDX with my 4L - I've had 88 mph winds that 
blew out the windows on my home - the Yaesu works fine.  It also 
withstood 125 mph recorded wind gusts while I lived in Alaska with a 
Mosley Pro57B-40 and a 5L 6M beam on top.  I'm content.

73,
