Hi guys,
for the Techno Trend board, I suggest to contact Jean-Pierre F6DZP and have
a look at http://www.vivadatv.org/page.php?p=tutioune-en
for some hints.
You can also drop a line to Amsat-Italia Bod (CD at amsat.it), unfortunately
I'm currently on business trip and can't help you right now.

As Stefan said pay attention to the rotators:speed and accuracy may cause
unsuccess.
