Default Attic antenna: rotator upside-down work?


"Buck" wrote in message
...


BB Will an antenna rotator like a Radio Shack or Channel Master work if
BB hung upside-down from a roof beam, or should I try to come up with a
BB way to secure it to the attic floor?



Do you have a break-down of the assembly of the rotor? If there are
no bearings when held upside down, you may damage the rotor by hanging
it that way.

Don't know about some of the newer inexpensive TV type rotors, but my old
AR-40 has lubricated ball bearings running in a groove. Don't know if
running that upside down would
be a problem or not. I believe I'd work out an attic floor mount that would
allow it to operate in the normal orientation. If cost is not a priority,
however, running it upside down might make for an interesting experiment.
