You can couple a short piece of pipe to the backside of the rotator mounting bolts with another set of mast clamps and run up another mast/pipe parallel to just under the loop. Then space another set

To Mike M. Are those Carlon PVC cases? I live 20ish miles south of Lexington KY, say 25 miles south of 38 degrees north latitude. My PVC cases sure don't look like that after a few years! And, unless

Hi Mike, Thanks for posting those photos. To be honest I'm amazed it held up so well. Although the box is exposed to the elements, the outer surface shows no sign of oxidisation, which is usually a

Sorry I'm late to the discussion. I am moving and was taking down an active antenna and decided to open up two boxes that have been outside to see how they look inside. I am located in western

Hi Simon, Yep, totally agree and I'm Ok to spend more money on quality rotator. I was actually thinking about Yaesu G800DXA. That's one step up - should be holding even better. And looks like I really

That's a great idea! I was thinking about using some guy wires and some piece of PVC over the mast... Cannot use ground for any mounts as my balcony is ~4m about ground surface and we have a garage

Hi If you got $300 or so available just go buy a yaesu 450 rotator.. job done, safe, looks good (Wife and Landlord friendly.) reliable and holds resale value. Have one here holding up tein 2m

Another option I thought of as I was cleaning out a box of stuff. A few years ago our meter pole started to lean becasuse of moles. I initially was going to use guy wires to hold it upright and bought

These are available in the US and I have used them extensively on 4G cellular modules in freezing temperatures with high saturated humidity

Yeah, I used unistruts/superstruts for some of my other projects... Looks like he got quite a bit of a setup. I'm trying to avoid that. Maybe I just look into other more heavy duty rotators. Thank you

I'm still researching ways the big boys in high tech protect their electronics, this site doesn't quite qualify as big boys but is

He used PVC pipe cut lengthwise with hose clamps to compress the PVC for a "sort of snug fit." lubricated with silicon grease and fabricated an "umbrella" with a hole in it to keep out water. This was

Thank you for this description. So if I understand you right your friend is using an additional Pi-shaped support above Philips rotator? I assume rotating mast comes out of rotator and goes up through

A ham friend uses a Phillips TV antenna rotator, probably the same guts as your antenna. He added ** Allied Tube & Conduit 10-ft 12-Gauge Electro-galvanized Slotted Channel

Let's talk about rotators for loop antennas. I hope it's not too much of an off topic? Just got my cross parallel loop installed on cheap RCA rotator designed for TV antennas (VH226e). My antenna is

I'm afraid I don't have any ideas outside of MILSPEC conformal coatings, or embedding in epoxy, and even then, equipment is usually inside something else that takes the brunt of damaging conditions,

Hi Kurt, What would you recommend that's easy to apply? I can re-apply it once in half a year or so. Not really expecting it to last 25

I can: NOT, NOT, NOT! Recommend the Krylon UV Archival Spray. As applied, it sucks. Fails almost immediately, relatively speaking, maybe a month or two. 8 coats? Still sucks, but fails in a
