The rotator should work fine if you use large enough wire. You may need 6mm or
larger wire. I have rotators with 130m control lines and have no issues.
However, I think most stations use verticals for a multiplier stations to
minimize interference and then no rotator is necessary.

Hi guys,
I am putting a temporary tower about 200m away for INBAND during CQ WW SSB.
My question is regarding the rotor, what kind of cable or how should one
rotate the rotor at such distance? I guess the voltage drop is quite high,
meaning the rotor will turn very very slowly or even not turn at all.
I am going to use either a YAESU G1000DXC or a KR600.
Any ideas are welcome.
