[TowerTalk] Long rotor run

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hello all, correct me if I am wrong but doesn't moving the capacitor to the 
 rotator free up a couple of conductors that can be repurposed to lower the 
 voltage drop to the motor?

Two ways  to go...
Put the starting cap at the rotor , or put the starting cap at  the  
junction box below.  I simply removed the cap from the  control box and  
mounted it 
at the base of the tower...worked  fine.

I'm  using a tail twister rotor 350 ft form the control  box turning a 
2 el  quad, This problem reoccurs each winner when the  wind blows 
..Well in fact  any time the wind blows .. With the wind  20 mph or 
more the rotor stalls ,  I did use # 14 wire on the motor  leads and I 
have a junction box at the  base of the tower were I  change to regular 
rotor cable going up the tower  .

Heres my  Question, can I put a Start or Run Capacitor in my junction  
box and  still leave the capacitor in the control box ? would this   
help?  Another  thought was , could I replace the transformer  in  the 
control box to a little higher voltage ?

Thanks  Ed
