My actuator antenna rotator

[Archived-1]

Hi all, here is a design I made a few months ago, it works great, I have also home brewed the antenna and made the tilt mast, the 1.2 dish will be coming down for good and replaced with the 1.8 in a new location, also the tower is going to be moved and made bigger,

I still need to finish the mount for the 1.8, but i will be getting on with this when work dies down.

Yes pal, chain driven, motorbike sprockets lol. all the pole turns, I will take a few close ups, my camera is not good at distance,

I can recall you having a scanner visp, do you have a transceiver ?, I do get Manchester coming in from time to time,

I have new ideas as I have said, a fair bit of fabrication to do, for my dish and tower, best thing I have ever bought was the welder, I can now do things with steel what I have been doing with wood for years tbc :-).
