[TowerTalk] Thanks -- HDX-89 rotator replacement - w/o tilting the tower over?

[Brian Moran]

Thanks to everyone who replied on and off the list; I put the tower up to where 
I could get the rotator out, and carefully chocked the tower; I removed the old 
rotator, and put in the new one. I like the idea of the metal pipe to hold up 
the center section, I'll do that next time. Even though it's only about an 8-10' 
difference, I really like working at the lower tower height.

The Orion rotator and Green Heron box are happy together. My DB-36 is about to 
go back up on the tower, hopefully this week; it's taking a while since it's 
still too dark by the time I'm able to get home after work, and weekends seem to 
get filled with other things.
