Wireless Antenna Rotor
Just wondering if there are any "wireless" antenna rotors available so a wire doesn't have to be run in the house. If so any recomendations?

Doesn't exist.
One could be reasonably developed (it would be a fun project), but it would be expensive, so much so that you could have hired an electrician or installer several times to install a rotor cable. |

The Eagle Aspen ROTR100 unit uses your coaxial cable to power and control the rotor AND it has an IR remote.
That's about as wireless as it gets.

And the Eagle Aspen is a piece of junk, unless you live in the shadow of the tower - you might or might not get reception and it is a UHF only antenna.
If you do not want a rotor, just use a thrust bearing and a lock and a pipe wrench and run the pipe from the ground to the antenna and turn the whole antenna manually. That was how our ham radio club turned it's large 20 meters ( 14 MHz ) beam antenna for years.

Why did you think it was a UHF antenna? The ROTR in the model number was a pretty good clue and Jim did call it a rotor... |
