[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Edward R Cole]

I do the same as Josh:

Multiple turns of LMR-400.  That connects to 7/8-Heliax coming up the 
tower leg.

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.
