[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Mark E. Musick]

I use LMR400-FLEX for my rotor loops and have had no problems. It has been
up since 1999 or 2000. LMR400-FLEX is the designator for the stranded center
conductor version. I also have used Davis FLEX LMR400 equivalent and if I
remember correctly Davis-FLEX that is what is stamped on the feedline. The
difference between LMR400 solid center conductor and LMR400 FLEX stranded
center conductor has a loss of about .1 or .2db more at 50 MHz. Again if my
memory is correct.

There is a stranded center conductor version of the LM400, do not remember
what the designation is. I plan to use some for the same reason, going
around a rotor to a HexBeam.

 OK all. I'm installing a 6m rotating beam and feeding it with LMR400. 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.
