[TowerTalk] Need help with identity of antenna and rotor

[n8de at thepoint.net]

Rob,
Not sure about the antenna, but those 'square' boom-element brackets  
are definitely a clue for someone who is familiar with it.  Optibeam  
??  Not sure.

The rotor is a Ham-M, or Ham-III, or Ham-IV, or T2X.  The control box  
may offer some help, but the UNDERSIDE of the rotor casing will  
identify it when it is removed from the tower.

Good luck
Don
