Unfortunately I forgot that I had done so when I got up around midnight and was getting ready to work some FT8. I spotted a station I needed and swung the beam. The beam locked up and I can not get it away from the locked bearing although it is still at the same position. I because of that I was able to raise the Beam to the top of the tower. I was able to move the beam to 325 deg. It locked up there again. I have reset the defaults which changed the bearing to 297 deg but does not move the beam. The beam still will not move. Believe the brake is locked. I can not lower it it as it needs a bearing of 151 deg to clear the tower. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on what is broke would help. The DCU 3 tries to move the beam but nothing happens. Any and all help is appreciated. By the way I am recuperating from a broken toe so can not be of much physical help.
