[TowerTalk] rotator cable source

[Michael J. Castellano]

Regarding the rotor cable posts, I thought I would share the source of MY rotator cable. Visit whoever handles traffic lights for your area

(Town, State DOT, County, etc) and try to scrounge Traffic Control Cable. It's typically 6 or 7 conductor of #12, and is 

in a practically indestructible black jacket. (After all, it hangs from traffic lights for about 50 years!). It's stiff and can be

a bit of a pain to work with, but if the price is "right" and the conductor size ok, go for it!  I have three exposed runs of 500 feet on my 

Telrex rotors,  and its all been working fine for over 25 years. The price:  cost me lunch for three guys.
