[TowerTalk] Tic ring feeline

[Dave Fuller]

Well  I have a Steppir without boom strut and guy wires in the way on 
the bottom.   Maybe I'll have to make a coax and steppir cable 
"strut".    Maybe a horizontal support a couple of feet above the 
antenna that holds the coax out away from the tower and rotor parts?
