Hi all, I was given a 13 element 2 meter beam. I need to clean it up but once I do I think it will fix my noise issue on VHF since I'm hoping I can just point it away from the noise source knowing where it is. Anyway, it's a very light beam, I can hold the whole thing one handed  no problem, likely my coax will be heavier. I don't need a heavy rotator for this and if it's going to cost me too much I'll point it the most common direction and just run it fixed but if anyone can point me to a small, like an old TV antenna rotator that has the pointer on the control box so I can tell which way it points I'd love to hear about it. Again, I'm on a budget so this may end up a nonissue if things stay as they are but if something works out we're working on I can't get in to right now, I'd like to get this up and going in the fall. TS-2000 on a beam like that, that could be big. I'm not a fan of the band so won't use it often but when I do, they'll know I was there.
