Re: Rotating LMR400, many will say it's fine to rotate and "it works fine for me." Although it may work fine, I've noted visible deterioration in the center conductor after only 50 or so sample rotat

I'd be a bit hesitant about flexing LMR-400 very much, as it has a center conductor of copper-clad aluminum. I recently replaced a number of electrical outlets in my house (built in 1974) which were

Hi John, I wouldn't use LMR 400 (or other large diameter LMR series cables) for any situation where the cable will be flexed. Consider LMR 400 a poor man's hardline, and treat it as such. This means

I would mount the end connector, a female if possible, binding it to a tower leg with a SS hose band and I would use cheap RG-8/U as the `whip cable' 4-6 feet is frequently used. (NOT foam) Every ti

I've noticed that the portable news-gathering vans seem to use an alternative sort of rotation loop for their antenna masts. It looks like they wrap 6-7 turns of coax around the mast, with the top fi

I have noticed the same thing. Their antennas are obviously set for some real high frequency and the coax is then most likely something less flexible than RG213. Jim N1NK it

Pete, The spool you see on the mobile vans are actually PVC tubing and the coax runs inside the PVC. It gets heavy and the 58' mast now have a basket half way up to balance the weight...the newer van
