\"PST-641<\/a>Last year I purchased a pneumatic 11m mast that can support a head load of\u00a035kg. \u00a0Currently I use an SPID RAU<\/a> rotator from AlfaRadio<\/a> mounted at the top of the mast to rotate antenna’s. \u00a0At 6kg the rotor is reasonably light but\u00a0for a while I’ve felt it would be better placed at the base as this removes 6kg from the top of the mast.<\/p>\n

This little project will need modifications to the masts support\/tilt-over base, a new rotor – as the SPID won’t take the vertical load – and an interface between the rotor and mast.<\/p>\n

\"PST-641<\/a>The project has taken the first step. \u00a0After drafting\u00a0an\u00a0engineering drawing<\/a>\u00a0of the rotor\/mast interface a local engineering company made\u00a0one for me. \u00a0For reference the rotor is a Prosistel<\/a> PST-641D<\/a> and the mast is a Total Mast Solutions<\/a> \/ Fireco 115mm (base tube) pneumatic mast.<\/p>\n

I’ll post again next month when I hope to receive the new PST-641D<\/a> rotor and progress the next stage in the project.<\/p>\n
