ebay always has alliance and CDE roters for cheap prices...of course, if you
buy roters off ebay make sure to email and communicate with the seller
before perchase to make sure the thing doesn't have any, er, character
developing quirks.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a roter and putting up my 7
element 2M beam or perhaps the pair of them.
