[amsat-bb] Thoughts on AZ/EL rotors

[JoAnne Maenpaa]

Hi Dan,

> Has anyone tried adapting an AZ/EL telescope drive system?

G6LVB experimented with a telescope drive as an antenna tracker a long time ago (like back around 2005) so Rick's experiments are more timely.

Howard does point out that he needed counterweights to balance the stress on the drive system's mechanical parts.
