Equipment / Rotator for loop antenna
« on: September 30, 2012, 1724 UTC »
Hi all, new to this board. I'm from central Virginia and have been active off and on in swl'ing since the early 60's, and a ham (KQ4MZ) since '91.
I cut my teeth on a heathkit GR-64 I built with my dad when I was ten and been at it ever since.
I am looking to add a Pixel loop antenna to my G5RV and verticals. Can anyone recommend a decent rotator to use with the pixel?
Don't obviously need the overkill of a ham rotator, but most of the reviews for TV and small uhf/vhf rotators seem to fall into either into
the best thing since sliced bread or total junk. Anybody had good luck with a reasonably priced rotator? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Tnx
