[TowerTalk] Hardline & crank up tower?

[pramey@smtplink.ram.com]

     As you know hard-line is not made to be bent or moved a lot.  I would 
     use hard line to the tower and up to the 1st level where the tower is 
     nested.  I would then use a 9913 type the rest of the way.  If the 
     tower nests at 20 feet and extends to 55 feet you will only have 35-45 
     feet of 9913 type of coax.  I have use runs of 75 feet of 9913 with a 
     radio putting out only 2 watts and have good performance from it at 
     940 MHz.  I have a Rohn tilt-over and use 7/8 to the hinge and 9913 
     for the rest of the run.

I was wondering if anybody has suggestions on how to run hardline 1/2" & 
7/8" up a teescopic tower. I have just instaled a tubular tower that I 
plan on using for some UHF and SHF antennas. The tower is about 20' and 
extends to 55'. Any useful suggestion will be helpful.
Thank es best 73,
