[TowerTalk] TIC RING

[Howard Klein]

Bill,
I use the 1048 with the Green Heron controller. Working well for several year BUT mine freezes when temp goes below 32. I have not done anything about it because I don't climb anymore and it does not rotate my main antenna.  I feel pretty sure removing it and sealing the motor well will cure the problem. The next tower project will include the repair. I only mention this as something that can be avoided easily on the ground. Carl is helpful but I guess he doesn't climb either.
GL,
Howard..K2HK
