[TowerTalk] Keeping antennas straight

[ve4xt at mymts.net]

What about pinning antennas to mast (so they remain aligned to one another), NOT pinning mast to rotator (so a really bad wind doesn't destroy your rotator) and using a rotator without physical stops in the rotation?

I know the Spid doesn't use physical stops, are there others?

With the Spid, calibrating rotator to antennas, no matter how far out of shape, is an entirely electronic experience from inside the shack.

Doesn't help if you don't want to change rotators. 

Is there some aspect I'm missing?

All of my aluminum has sprouted at over 100 feet in the air and is a bear to keep straight in these winds that we get here in Florida in some of these storms. Thank you for your input.
