1. [TowerTalk] Rotator loop construction? (score: 1): Author: Jim Miller <jim@jtmiller.com>; Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 23:17:29 -0400; Should a rotator loop be constructed so that it goes +/-180 or should it be more like 360-720? The first reverse as it goes through the midpoint of rotation whereas the second would just wind either; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00291.html (7,525 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Dick Flanagan <dick@k7vc.com>; Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:45:21 -0700; If it were me I would construct it so that it would run 180 degrees through 540 degrees. This would place one extreme at the 180 end of the loop and the other extreme at the 540 end of the loop. This; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00293.html (7,740 bytes)

Then again my rotator runs 540 degrees. I let the could lay flat on top of the tower. It forms a could much like a watch spring. 73 Roger (K8RI); /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00295.html (7,425 bytes)

The first reverse as it goes through the midpoint of rotation whereas the second would just wind either tighter or looser. There are 2 rotator loop methods. One has cable(s); /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00309.html (7,995 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "Kenneth Goodwin" <krgoodwin@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:01:50 -0500; The secret is to mechanically isolate the connectors from any of the rotational forces. One of our neophytes at W5RRR used LMR-400 in the VHF/UHF antennas system and the failure was when the cable sc; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00310.html (7,793 bytes)

There will be minimal flexing. The former imposes more; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-08/msg00314.html (9,054 bytes)
