[TowerTalk] New ROTOR design at VISALIA DX convention

[john at kk9a.com]

It is great to see new rotators enter the market place however don't see how 
this product 
http://www.cytorq.com/files/Download/ULINK%20CYdwinder%201500%20DS%204%2011%2012.pdf 
compares to a TIC ring rotator.  A TIC has 360 degrees rotation and can 
handle much larger antennas.  This rotator has a 36' boom maximum.  t turns 
very quickly, 300 degrees in 30 seconds, perhaps too quickly for anything 
large.

Geezzz,  If you are like me , you have experienced
many ROTOR  failures over the years -
from problems with controllers,  direction sensors,
to a SHAFT actually shearing off -

W7CY has a new product , worth checking out
The Control cable works fine at  500 ft length !
It  uses STEP  motor with digital controller .

this is NOT you Daddy's rotor !

*www.cytorq.com   *

The CYDWINDER is side mount  -  with likely
future UPGRADE to larger motor -  I dislike
TIC RINGS - hard to install, hard to maintain
and tricky to climb around -  this is a solution
to that problem.  One hardcore  contester friend
had many TIC rings at his old QTH,  he told me
" never again "  !
