[TowerTalk] Rotator vs Rotor

[Phil Snyder]

Now don't be too hasty. I did have a ham friend who had a small TV type 
rotor on the boom of his 3 element CC 6 meter beam so he could go 
vertical for FM or horizontal for SSB. I never did ask how the tuning 
worked, but I assume ( hate that word) he used a tuner. Or he didn't care!
