have to
spend more than the cost of the antenna just to turn it.
I see a number of apparently mechanically identical rotators intended
for
turning TV antennas, ranging in price from about $50 to $120, which look
like they'd work under normal conditions.
We don't have much trouble with ice here, but long stretches of near-
zero or below-zero F temperatures are common, with occasional dips to
-20F
or so.
Would these rotators work in those temperatures? Would they continue to
work for more than one winter?

Six Meters - Lets see - the FCC took 6 meters off the television
broadcasters and gave it to the amateurs..
US amateurs were allocated 56 to 64 MHz in 1924.
In 1949 the band was moved to 50 to 54 MHz to make way for TV channel 2
and it has been that way ever since.
