that the sliding joints and steel cables may not have the best connections.

The connection reference was for good RF connections between the tower
sections. This would seem to be important for the half sloper.

The dowel (in the top cable guide, with the cables taped to it) provides a
form of strain relief -- otherwise the weight of the cables would rest on a
rather sharp right-angle bend where they would go over the top cable guide.
