[RFI] high noise level...

[Jim Smith]

In all the stuff I've read about current chokes, feedline radiation due 
to asymmetry, etc. I don't think I've ever seen this possibility pointed 
out (or thought of it).  If coax can pick up RF and reradiate it, why 
not the rotator cable?  (A disturbing thought, why not the tower too? 
 Pretty difficult to wind it in a multiturn coil.)

Looks like another good reason to mount the rotator near the base.
