[TowerTalk] Any Economical Options for a Ring Rotor?

[Gene Fuller]

Hi Rob -
If you can settle for about 270 degrees of rotation, I'm sure that many 
would suggest a DIY sidegate. With a 50-60 degree forward  beamwidth you 
really wouldn't miss much and  they're fairly easy to build - a few feet of 
inch and a half by 1/4" angle stock, a short piece of inch and a half pipe, 
a few U-bolts and a small piece of steel or aluminum plate for mounting a 
rotator. A local welding shop is helpful, but bolts, a drill and a hack saw 
will do it,  and you're in business.
