[TowerTalk] Solid center conductor LMR400 for crankup tower?

[Mike]

I use it on a 70 foot crank up tower, no problems here.  I did change out
the crappy cable stand off's to something far better and well made though
because the weight killed the originals in four weeks.

Below are links if you need stand off's or consider the standard ones too
weak, don't know what tower you have but mine is a LM-470.

I think he even has a photo of me testing the strength of the standoff on
his web page: -)

Howdie folks,
  I am installing the DB18 on a 75ft crankup. Have a roll of LMR400, the 
solid center conductor type.
  I thought i might just ask before i cut the cable from the roll. Any 
possible issues with
   using the LMR400 on a crankup?

  I have arms mounted on each of the 3 sections to keep the cables away 
from the telescoping sections.
