Hi, I miss my quad beam, but now I simply have no room to raise a quad having 4 verticles and 4 horizontal elements. so I have a 4 element yagi, but I would love to rotate horizontally to verticle as needed, and I do not have the funds for the Yeasu that does both, I thought I could use an old school antenna rotator with the through hole and bought a NOS still in the box but my mC104 has a 2" O.D. boom and the through hole in the rotator is 1 5/8" I.D. are there any simple rotators that have a 2" I.D. through hole that will not break my bank? any help even with a homebrew solution is appreciated, as I am a handyman and have a welder :-)

Why not get a pipe adapter to make it fit ? It does not cost much. Some plumbing stores have tools to make an adapter for you. Or you can go to a car custom exhaust business and they can make you one. Still will not cost much.
