[TowerTalk] Ground Level Rotators

[WA3GIN]

I used this method on the HDBX48 and its been up for over 30 years.... funny 
thing is I've never had to work on the rotor (Tailtwister).  I use a thrust 
bearing to keep the pipe weight off the rotor bearing although I'm sure they 
would handle the weight.  I used allen screws to set the couplings.  Abt 
12sqft of antenna on the mast. I ran a ground strap from the mast coupling, 
just above the rotor, to ground.
