[bars] Az/El rotor?

[Tim KC1RET]

Greetings all,

Back in the 70s, when the Earth was young, one of my motivations for 
wanting a ham license was to 'work the birds', specifically the AMSAT 
OSCAR satellites.  I didn't quite get my ticket back then but my 
interest in satellites stayed with me.  Now that I've (finally) gotten 
into the hobby I'm ready to send some signals into space.

What I need now is an Az/El rotor (Yaesu G-5500 or similar) to point the 
antennas at the right spot in the sky.  I can manage to build the 
antennas, but the rotor is a bit beyond my ability.  If you, or anyone 
you know, has one they may be willing to part with I'd appreciate a 
heads up.

Thanks & 73,

Tim - KC1RET
