I want to use an antenna rotator at our cottage. We only have 12V DC.
Does anyone have a plan for, know of, want to sell a 12 volt antenna
rotator?

Try using an old wiper motor off a car. You my need to drop the voltage
some to slow it down. Idea from "73 Amateur Radio Today" mag. November
issue 1996, Page 61.

One option is to use a small inverter; my partner & I run an old CDR
rotator on a 150Watt inverter along with 3 flourescent lights in a van
set up for VHF+ contesting; the added convienence of the inverter is
great. They are available at Walmart for $60-$80.
