[TowerTalk] Need help with identity of antenna and rotor

[Dick Dievendorff]

The square riveted boom to element brackets are similar to those I had on
Force 12 antennae.  I don't know for sure which Force 12 antenna that is,
but I would guess it's a C something.

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
