I'm getting ready to install my rotor and coax and would like to get some 
thoughts on the best way to do the coax loop for the rotor.  Typically, I would 
leave about a 5' sagging loop to the side of the mast/tower and leave it at 
that.  In reading K7NV's tower tips, he suggests wrapping the coax around the 
mast a couple of times in 8" or larger diameter to serve as the "loop", stating 
that this method puts less strain on the coax as the rotor turns.  I haven't 
had any experience with this method.  Any thoughts on this?  Which is better?  
Thanks.
