Another surprise this morning. Murphy surely loves my new
QTH.
I went to the roof to remove some unused cables and found
out that my antennas are rotating freely in a slight wind. I
can't call it a storm, because it is not a storm. I've got
two Force 12 duobanders on the mast (total less than 15 sq
ft wind load) and my mast is mounted in two bearings with
T2X inside 40 ft Rohn 25. I can hear the brake and the
indicator shows that T2X moves, but it doesn't move my
antennas.
Is it possible that gear assembly is broken????
Anybody with similar problem before I go up and take T2X
down?

This adds T2X to the Murphy's list (two alpha amps, parallel
port on my PC, some ant problems).
