We're definitely on the same wavelength, as that's about the same time
my rotor stopped working.  I'll work on it this weekend, and if I can
resuscitate my Ham IV, I'll pop for the Rotor EZ and give you another
beta tester  :-D

If it's not just a wiring problem, then it'll be a significant delay, as
it's a guyed tower, and I have to take the beam down, and hoist the mast
out of the rotor to remove it from the tower  (gin poles, ick.....)

/w6bi crosses his fingers and hopes for a simple wiring problem.

That would be very cool, but don't rush it just for me; in the ham
world, everything takes three times longer than you plan for...
