[TowerTalk] Lift Mast to Replace Rotator

[lesbrown]

I use a shaft collar on the mast just above the thrust bearing. That way there is no weight on the rotor. 73, Les VE3NNT Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network.

Then you caneasily remove and replace the rotor.73, Bob - W3YY-----Original Message-----From: TowerTalk [mailto:towertalk-bounces at contesting.com] On Behalf Of JohnSloopSent: Thursday, December 26, 2019 5:02 PMTo: TowerTalk at contesting.comSubject: [TowerTalk] Lift Mast to Replace RotatorI'm looking for suggestions to lift mast, with antennas just enough toreplace the rotator, which is a Ham III.  Rotator is shelf mounted about 2feet below the top thrust bearing.  All ideas are appreciated.
