[TowerTalk] Antenna Rotor Speed

[Kipton Moravec]

I am building an antenna rotor for a HF antenna.

How fast should the antenna rotate?

Looking at the motor/gear they have now it looks like it will rotate at
10 RPM, which means 6 seconds to go end to end. That seems too fast to
me. If I change gear sets I can go to a 4 RPM which is 15 seconds to go
to one end to the other. That still seems a little fast. On the other
hand if it goes too slow people will not like it.

For you folks that like contesting, what speed is reasonable? 

Or maybe I should ask what is the slowest speed you would not complain
about? :)
