Abstract
A system is described for raising and lowering an antenna without using an electric motor or hand crank. A shaft is attached to an antenna mounted to the roof of a recreational vehicle. A first adapter engages the shaft. A second adapter couples with the first adapter. A portable self-powered activating device such as an electric screwdriver is secured by a chuck to the second adapter. The rotational force generated by the activating device is transferred via the first and second adapters to the shaft to raise or lower the antenna.
