As you know hard-line is not made to be bent or moved a lot. I would
use hard line to the tower and up to the 1st level where the tower is
nested. I would then use a 9913 type the rest of the way. If the
tower nests at 20 feet and extends to 55 feet you will only have 35-45
feet of 9913 type of coax. I have use runs of 75 feet of 9913 with a
radio putting out only 2 watts and have good performance from it at
940 MHz. I have a Rohn tilt-over and use 7/8 to the hinge and 9913
for the rest of the run.

I was wondering if anybody has suggestions on how to run hardline 1/2" &
7/8" up a teescopic tower. I have just instaled a tubular tower that I
plan on using for some UHF and SHF antennas. The tower is about 20' and
extends to 55'. Any useful suggestion will be helpful.
Thank es best 73,
