[TowerTalk] [CQ-Contest] Hy Gain Tailtwister

[Dennis Vernacchia]

...and if it is the well known "Stuck at end of rotation " problem,
 once you get it going again, do yourself a favor and buy a
kit from IDIOM Press that allows you to turn the antenna to
a selected Azimuth and has special "Wiggle" mode that is
comes on automatically anytime rotator is at end of rotation
points.

I have NO pecuniary interest in the product
