[TowerTalk] PST2051D

[KD0Q-Glenn]

I have a PST-2051 turning an M2 10-30LP8 (13.0 ft2).  Great rotor and it 
turns the LPDA just fine.  But after a year, the coupling between the 
motor and worm gear shaft loosened up and slipped off. Antenna rotation 
was still was somewhat stabilized by the worm gear but still rotated in 
strong wind.  Got it fixed before any damage.
