I don't think I have commented on this thread, but back in 1975,
I had a HamAm rotor that turned my HighGain TH6DXX 6 element
beam. There was no way for a blind person to know the direction
the antenna was pointing because the rotor meter was of course
under glass and probably had a very small needle. A friend at
the time, built a small device, seems it was a voltage controled
oscillator with a pointer knob on top that rotated freely 360
degrees. I would set the pointer in the direction I wanted to
point the beam and hit the keys on the rotor. When the tone in
the speaker inside the attached box nulled out, I knew I was
pointing northwest or where ever I needed to point. I am not
aware of any similar audible rotor indicators out there today.
