[TowerTalk] Yaesu thrust bearings

[tommy at k6ye.com]

Bill,

I currently use the Yaesu 065 on my HDX-555 tower supporting a 4-element 
SteppIR. I will be putting a 2-element 40-meter yagi above it in the 
near future. I previously used one on my HG-54HD tower supporting a 
Force-12 C4-XLD. Both work great.

Semper Fi,

Tommy - K6YE

Good luck in your quest.
