[TowerTalk] thrust bearings

[Everett Jackson]

I am having the same problem.

Looking for a better bearing for a 40 meter 3 el beam @ 120 Ft.

I've no experience with anything else and that brings me to my question. Is there something better out there? DXE claims an improvement over the Rohn bearing but it looks as all they did was add a lower seal. I'm leery of Yaesu if the bearings are made from the same pot metal as their rotor mast clamps. Bearing recommendations for an installation with a 2" mast  with about 8' above the bearing and 2' below and an antenna along the lines of JK's C3S antenna are sought.
