[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Mel Farrer]

I don't know the suggested turning radius of LMR400.  In my system I use about 6 foot jumper of RG213 to do the section around the rotating section.  I use a KLM 8 el and the total length is longer.

I run LMR400 to my 6 & 2 meter antennas with no problems.  Just leave enough slack around the rotor and you’ll be fine.

Would you connect the LMR to the antenna and allow it to move with the rotation, or run a short length of something much more flexible between the antenna and LMR? I have my concerns that the solid heavy inner conductor of the LMR won't take much movement.
