[TowerTalk] 2 capacitors on rotor

[Jon Zaimes, AA1K]

On my long runs to Tailtwister rotors, I put the capacitor at the base of the tower for ease of replacement and to eliminate the need for two control wires going to the shack. The capacitor in the control box is not used (or is removed and put at the tower).
