[TowerTalk] TH11DX and Belden 9913

[Bernard]

    Thanks for all the excellent comments on Belden 9913.  I guess that I
made the "right" decision in getting the CQ FLEXI 4XL.

    As one final question, has anyone on this thread used it directly to a
beam with a "rotor loop?"  If so, did you have any problem with flexing?
