OlFlex cable from Lapp (http://www.lappusa.com) would be a great choice. I use a 22 conductor to the tower and then a 8 conductor up to the top myself for a small rotator. They offer many different c

Yes. It's just wire. "Magnet" wire is just intended to be used to wrap stators and rotors in electric motors, or something of the sort. It's usually lacquer coated. 73! -Adam WJ4X ___________________

The Hubbell ones that cover the .400 size are perfect.... If it's really worth being liquid tight, they are the only way to go. $7 each retail is pretty cheap for them actually, I've paid twice that
