[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Clay Autery]

You'll get lots of suggestions, but I believe the use of a single
unbroken feedline from the antenna to the shack (when possible) trumps
the inconvenience of properly engineering an install that does NOT put
unnecessary repetitive bending moments on the line.

Do the research....  There's all kinds of info on how to create/route a
feedline for rotator use...

Most of the people I know with tall towers and big antennae use LMR-400
(or similar size) AS the "smaller jumper".

No reason NOT to use LMR-400 from the antenna to the station...

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.
