 Thank you, Charlie,
No the receiver is not picking it up.  You can actually feel the controller 
cases vibrating.  I'll check the connections while at the remote.73  K5XM

 Do you mean a buzz in your receiver?

If it's your receiver while operating the rotator...I had such a problem
quite a few years ago.  I ended up "floating" the ground (common)
connection
in the rotator controller, i.e. no connection to the chassis in the
controller.
The only connection to ground/earth was then in the rotator itself.

With yours being an intermittent problem, I'd look for a loose or
corroded connection
somewhere in the wiring as you said.
