Rich, if you can send me the website for Norms Rotator service off list, I'd
appreciate that very much, as I'm am looking into getting a beam up, and
want a solution for a good control box

There are two obvious choices.  First of all handihams sells a very
affordable add on that gives you a tone as the antenna turns.  Its not my
favorite but quite usable.  You might have a look at their web site.
I preferred a rotator sold by norms rotator service which essentially was a
modified rotator with a control box and pointer.  You pointed the knob to
the direction of your choice and pressed a button.  There was a tone until
the beam got to that point.
Good luck with the tower projects.  Buying one can be easier than putting it
up.
Richard
