Why tape them up? Personally, I would just let the coax slide through the
loops.
When the tower comes down and goes up repetitively, the coax will BEND
uncomfortably at the tape points, causing inevitable eventual damage and
failure.
Just my opinion, of course.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Re: US Towers 472 coax question
I just got my US Towers 472 MDP tower up, with a 31 L Tennadye log for
50-1300 at the top and a KLM 6M7LB yagi below it. I am trying to figure the
distance between coax arms that the coax should be taped to. I can't seem to
locate that spec in the US towers material. In other words, when the tower
is fully extended, what is the distance between consecutive coax arms?
Thanks, 73, John KG6I
