If your tower is not big enough to fit an adequately sized rotator I have
to question if the tower is big enough for your antenna.

Regarding winter tower work, I have climbed my tower in Chicago many times
in the winter. Sometimes my cold fingers did not have good dexterity but
doing the work was certainly possible.

I want to focus the question at hand on turning and braking ability.

The nightmare around this part of the country is to wake up and see your
beam pin-wheeling around due to a brake failure or the fact it won't turn
anymore. This always happens right at the start of winter so guys can sit
out all winter season wishing they had put a rotor up with a bit more
brawn...

All the other issues, while significant, fall into the "items to consider
down the road" category.

Will the small Alfa-SPID fit inside the 25G?
