We had our (relativley) new microwave live truck set-up in front of the station as part of our red carpet gala. Upon hanging out around the truck talking to the truck&#8217;s tech, I noticed a familiar sight in one of the side bins &#8211; the microwave transmitter at the top of the mast was controlled by none other than a YAESU G-800 antenna rotator. It was worth taking a photo of and posting on Hamsexy, at least in my opinion. The truck tech (who isn&#8217;t a ham) kinda looked at me strange &#8211; until I explained to him that his new million dollar live truck is running with a ham radio antenna rotator at it&#8217;s very core. We both shared a laugh &#8211; every truck in the fleet (including many other stations) are outfitted with simlar units.<\/p>\n<p>Who says that ham gear is shit?
