I have a US Tower MA-40, a MARB and MAF. I also have a SteppIR 3-element
beam. What rotor do I need?
One knowledgeable person about rotors has suggested thatSteppIR's put a
lot of torque back and forth on rotors. He thinks a HAM-IV will getdestroyed
and a t2x is marginal
for the 3 elSteppIR because of the 16' boom and 36'
long elements even when mounted inside a
tower on a rotor plate. He wonders
if a t2x can handle the rotation of the MA-40 tower and the SteppIR as well. He
knows of many people using the MA-40 rotatable tower as I want to do, but, they
aren't adding a SteppIR on top. He suggests abigger rotor or smaller antenna.
.
I know some people who are using a HAM-IV to rotate a MA-40 tower, but, they do
have smaller beams. Please let me have your experiences and suggestions.
