[TowerTalk] Rotator Control

[Denis Coolican]

I remote four Alpha Spid rotators at distances from 200 to 500 ft away from the ham station at ve6fi.  Whilst it is nice to have 120 volts AC  at the tower you do not need it for the Spid rotators.  You can have a 12 volt battery near your reversing relays at the bottom of the tower to handle your relay and turn your rotator.  Then you can use control sized wiring to trickle charge the battery from your shack. 


Works every time.
