Hello everyone:
Has anyone direct experience using ProSistel PST-RR-55D ring  or Creative
Design ERC-51D or ERC-5AD (DC motor if there is one of these available)?
with satellite antennas specifically a WiMo WX-220 2m RHCP cross-polarity
yagi 4.3kG and 4.7m long boom, and also Helix 70cm per G3RUH design 16
Turns, 4.0 kG 2.8m boom length.
These will be on a standard cross-boom of fiberglass tube which is 0.250
inch wall 2 inch OD).

Please share good or bad rotator experiences.  My personal requirement is to
build major over-design capability into rotators because my experience (in
the upper midwest) includes ice, snow, winds and I don¹t climb so I must
rely on hired help for repairs.

What has been your direct experience with these ProSistel and/or Creative
Design rotors please?    Thank you

Very 73,

Dave KJ9I
