Default rotor cable voltage drop

I'm installing a 60ft tower about 400ft from my house for uhf/vhf. I'm
planning to use a Channel Master rotor which I haven't purchased yet.



Also, be aware that many of these rotors are
Capacitor Start motors. So, where is the
Capacitor? Well, its in the Control Box
(to make it simple to get to, when it ages/or
gives up). Tho these are easy to access, my
question would also be (since these cap leads
are quite long, and RESISTIVE to get to the
rotor), is just what effect these long (thus
HIGHer) resistance and thus, volts limiting going
to do to the rotor speed ? I hope I stated this
correctly. Anyone have experience with this? Jim
