Bob-
I coil my 100' of Davis Bury-Flex into a figure-eight flake at the bottom
when I lower the HDX-589. I've never had any kinking issues since I started
doing that.

Subject: [TowerTalk] LMR600 up to the top of tower ?
I have a 380 foot coax run to the top section of my motorized tower when it
is fully extended.
I am changing out all my old RG213 and thinking of saving a few db by going
to LMR600 up to the top section then LMR400UF up from there for the rotor
loop and up to the 40 meter beam and triband/warc beam on the mast.
What do you think of LMR600 for this run from the shack up to the top
section for a motorized tower ?
When I lower the tower I am thinking I could coil the LMR600 into maybe 5
foot diameter coils on the ground.
BTW the tower is 90 feet to the top of the top section when all the way up.
Is this a bad idea ? (I am hoping to avoid the cost of the flex LMR600UF if
I can.) A side issue is I understand I have to be very careful not to nick
the copper clad on the center conductor
when installing a connector on the non flex LMR600. I would use the Davis
PL259 connectors for LMR600. Anyway maybe this usage of the
LMR600 is not a good idea, what do you think ?
