[TowerTalk] Tailtwister

[Jon Pearl - W4ABC]

Hi Bill.

I don't have a Hy-Gain rotor on the ground and opened up right now, 
Bill, but it would appear that there are a couple of terminals that 
could be used as the common tie point for two or more leads.  No lead 
colors are denoted on the schematic, but they're usually so washed out 
when you're fingering the actual leads that it really doesn't matter.  
There are few of them and they're easily traced from the schematic.
