I had an unusual structural failure recently when all the bolts securing the dome to the body of my antenna rotor apparently worked their way loose, allowing the rotor to separate, unceremoniously causing my A3WS and A4S beams to crash to the ground. Luckily there was no damage to the roof off which they must have bounced on their way earthward.
P.S.
Loktite and lock washers on the rotator bolts wouldn't be a bad idea either.
