By turning it off and on, I regained minimal control -- I could \nturn the antennas, but the position indicator stayed at the stop no \nmatter where the antennas pointed. I figured I was screwed, as I had no \nintention of falling off an icy roof to climb my rooftop tower in the \nmiddle of a Minnesota winter, and even if I did, there would be no way \nI'd repair the thing in time for the contest, and no way I'd get one of \nmy kids to volunteer to stand out in the cold and tell me which way the \nantennas were pointed every time I wanted to aim in a new direction.\n\nThen, as I was preparing to shut everything off and give up, I was \nlooking at the tangled mess of cables behind my stack of radio gear, and \nmuch to my surprise, found that the rotator cable plug was not seated \nfirmly into the back of the rotator controller. I pushed it all the way \nin, and it has worked perfectly ever since. Apparently the connection \nwas \"good enough\" to the lines that controlled the rotation motors, but \nnot \"good enough\" to the line that brings back the feedback \npotentiometer setting.\n\nMaybe, just MAYBE, you will get lucky that way too. It certainly costs \nnothing to check!\n\n73 de W0JT\n",
