For the record, I have 14 TIC Ring Rotors in operation. With more going up!
They work great.
I have a full size 4 element 40 meter OWA beam (25 square feet of wind load and
370 lbs) on one and it works perfect.
The service from Carl at TIC is outstanding!
You have to be diligent during the installation.
Being able to independently rotate any antenna around a tower with a TIC ring
during a DX contest is priceless!
