Here in the USA ALL Electronics had 12volt 6RPM DC motors. I drive my
large
4600v variable with it using a DC pulse width motor speed control. The
motor
control was around $22 as a kit in the USA. I would actually like about
3RPM
since the motor control slow speed needed for fine tuning is in a small
range. I could gear it but a mechanical mess. A simple DPDT switch is used
to reverse direction.

Check your electronic parts dealers to see if they have motor with
built-in
gear boxes. Best way to do it.

Yes, thanks Lee....G6ZSG......

PS: My loop is 1 meter on a side square and is used on 20 meters in the
attic. I have set it outside where the noise level is less but on really
cold days the motor will not turn. Used a simple plastic container from a
local discount store. I'll stick to the attic since I have a GAP vertical
as
well. Yes, they are comparable given the dipole like pattern of the loop.
