Hello all,
I have a Tailtwister (TX-2) rotor mounted on a Rohn 25 foldover tower. While the tower itself appears to have survived intact, hurricane Katrina snapped the mast and destroyed the antennas. I need to fold the tower over to work in it, and likely leave it folded over for a fairly extended period. This will leave the top of the tower and the rotor upside down. Unfortunately, it is still the rainy season here, and the last time I needed to do this, rain water got into the rotor and settled in the bell, causing rust and other corrosion damage inside the rotor, because it is only weather protected when it is upright. I would like to seal the rotor to prevent this from happening again, but none of the ideas I've had so far (wrapping it in plastic garbage bags, using duct tape, using sealing foam) are usable, either because they don't seal well enough to keep water out or because stuff may get up inside the rotor where I can't get it out. So, does anyone have any suggestions? 73, Marshall - W4EMB |
