From the amount of traffic, it's the most important issue of this year. It
tops "True North", "Owls", and "Wenches" by a Mile. (Nautical)

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Rotator vs Rotor
Wikipedia says:
===================================================
"An antenna "rotator" is a device which is used to change the
orientation of a directional antenna"
"The "rotor" is a moving component of an electromagnetic
system............."
===================================================
By these definitions, my Prop Pitch drive used to be a "rotor" when
installed on an aircraft propeller.
I guess it is now a "rotator" since it is firmly attached near the
bottom of my tower and the 45 ft. drive shaft is now considered a
"Rotor".
Boy am I glad to get that straight.........

My comment was tongue-in-cheek re the old prop pitch (still have
the two selsyns too), but it is refreshing to see there is some
passion amongst those on Towertalk for infinitely small detail.
55 years in ham radio is a short timer from my view, but
impressive.
Seriously, I'd like to thank all who have contributed to the
conversations that I've been privy to since joining. It has been
both
educational and sometimes comical. I'd like to think each day
that
I'm not getting older but smarter.
May 2015 bring everyone zero rotor/rotator/turner (or whatever
you want to call those cantankerous beasts), tower and antennae
problems, excellent propagation for whatever takeoff you have,
and better yet, good health.
