I think I would rather re-orient my antenna ('s) once a year when I do
maintenance than replace/rebuild a rotator. Much cheaper!

Mark,
I have been using the slipp - not clamp since April 2004. The clamp
is used on a tailtwister. The rotor turns a kt34xa and a 5 el 6 mtr beam.
Before installing the clamp, I would have to re- orient the antennas
on an average of once a year minimum due to high winds. (I tried to
exercise "wind management" by pointing the booms of the antennas into
the wind but wasn't always successful for various reasons). I always
felt it was better to let the mast slip a bit then to pin the mast and
risk rotor damage.
Since installation, the mast has NOT slipped at all. Even with winds
in excess of 50 MPH. In fact , the very first weekend after
installation , our area (Milwaukee, Wi) had winds exceeding 50
MPH. The clamp was put to the test very quickly and performed very
satisfactorily.
The usual, no affiliations with the manufacturer, just a very
satisfied customer.

Would like to get opinions on how these work. Am using a 2" mast
with a T2X rotor., TB-3 Thrust bearing. Now about 12 sq. ft. load.
Going up to about 20 sq. ft. Had to pin the rotor to the mast to
keep it from turning.
