[TowerTalk] One thrust bearing vs. two

[john at kk9a.com]

So what do you do to keep the antenna from spinning out control while the 
rotator is removed?

   I agree with Larry and many of the others.  I have a 24' mast and use
two.  I have used two for about 15 years now.  I sleep better using two and
the rotor maintenance is now a breeze (and non existent!).  With one bearing
at the top, we had to use a come along to get the mast back into the
vertical to mate up with the rotor collar.  Not fun....
