I need to check my 23cm antenna system again.
I have a helical mounted on the mast with a small AR-500 rotator.
This has worked for a while, and now the antenna is stuck in (about) 180 deg. The rotator seems to turn, when I look at the antenna outside, nothing happens.
Oops!
As a temporary solution until I can get a rotator running, I am thinking of using my old vertical, the Diamond X-5000, so, at the least, I can work on out local net on 1297.500 FM.
A local ham has offered to help with that, so in a few days I should have that up and running, at the least.
Now, if the rotator is ruined, that was a very short life span. We shall see what I can do. In the worst case, I will have to purchase a new (bigger) rotator.
