Hi David...I have a US TOWER TX-472MDP and I have 2 runs of Andrews 7/8
hard-lines,one run LMR400 and Belden HD rotor wire all attached to a
1/8"steel messenger cable tied to the top standoff and when I raise or
lower tower I have to walk them out into yard when I work on tower or
storms are expected...Was told I could not do it by some folks but it
works...Its not for everyone but I can tell you it works for me...Samuel

I'm putting together a new contest station and have already decided on/obtained
LDF5-50A for the 150ft runs to the bases of the two crank-up towers.
Looking for real-life experiences with cable choices for going up the telescopic
crank-up towers. Seems to me LDF Heliax (either 4-50 or 5-50) won't have
sufficient flexibility for the job - the towers are likely to be up/down frequently
for neighbour and passing storm reasons. Am I too cautious on that score or is a
low-loss coax with stranded core like the Messi & Paolini Hyperflex/Ultraflex
series or LMR 400/600UF a better bet?
