It can be in a position of one degree minus one, +or 359 degrees plus one. The difference is in the cable winding. + +If the rotator is at `270` azimuth and is sent to `0`, it will +go clockwise (looking from above) to `359` then plus one more to `0`. +If the rotator is at `179` azimuth and is sent to `0`, it will +go counter-clockwise to `1` then minus one. + +So a test using `0` could actually be two different tests, since +the `359 + 1` test, the cabling has one more wrap around the +mast. + +Best to not use `0`, and use `1` and/or `359`. +
