[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Josh Fiden]

LMR400 is really stiff. When I used it as a rotor loop, I made a couple 
of hoops around rather than directly flexing the cable around the tower. 
Not sure if that makes sense. In any case, doing it again I would 
definitely use a more flexible jumper for the rotor loop running to the 
antenna. In the shack I'm making jumpers from RG-214 which is very 
flexible and would work great as a rotor loop as well.

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.
