I just let cables hang loose and coil up on the ground when the tower 
is cranked down. The cable lays in a nice little pile at the base of 
the tower when lowered and you don't need to worry about loop 
lengths. The coax standoffs just keep the cables from getting tangled 
in the tower when going up or down. YMMV, but it works for me.
