What is the consensus on whether it's a good idea to make the rotator loop
to a yagi separate from the rest of the feedline (with barrel connector and
2 PL-259s). An unnecessary connection prone to weather, or a good hedge
against failure of the rotator loop due to flexing? Two of mine have been
up for 8 and 6 years respectively, but I'm replacing all my coax on the
tower following a lightning hit, and if there is a better way I'd like to
know it.
