   Bruce:
     Get yourself some 9913F7.  It's about the same size as RG-8U but a lot 
   more flexible. And it is very, very low loss and will easily handle 500w. 
   The 'F' in the name indicates 'flexible' and the 7 is the number of 
   strands.  Be careful not to confuse it with 9913, which is solid wire and 
   quite stiff.

For what it's worth, the guys at RF Connection said that they're out
of stock on that, and Belden isn't producing it currently.
I just ordered some CXP1318FX from Cable Experts.  I'm hoping it will
turn out to be flexible and rugged, since it's got a high number of
small strands for the center conductor, and a foam core instead of
air.
