Thank you for your valuable contribution, Bob. We appreciate it!

[Q: How are rotator groups used? --Ed.]

You can affect several antennas in a group in order to to turn them all 
in sync. This is usefull for stacked antennas which are on separate 
rotors. In WT, you can then turn the "stack" (all rotors will be turned 
to the target azimuth) or you can turn them independently (for example, 
both antennas beamed to two different directions).

[Q: How does one specify that 170 to 190° are "out of range"? --Ed.]

Hmmm... Joker! (I'll try to deal will this, Bob. Well seen!)

[Q: How to specify a range that excludes 170 to 190°? --Ed.]

Same than previous!
