[TowerTalk] Tic Ring ...coax rotor loop etc

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

Tim,

    On mine, I dress the coax from the beam back to the saddle bracket on
the ring and then I run it up the guy truss (I used a TIG guy truss on both
of my rings).  The coax runs up to the top of truss where it is taped off at
the top.  Then I make a drip loop that drops from the top of the truss to
just above the ring and then back up to attach to the tower at the same
height as the coax is the top of the truss.  This looks more like a drip
loop but it also doubles as the rotor loop. The loop is tied to the tower
leg at mid rotation so it turns quite freely around R45, +/- 180 degrees
without any issue

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tic Ring ...coax rotor loop etc

Just installed three Tic Rings on three different towers (25G)
enabling me rotate lower ant on 10,15,20. I have searched the
this reflector but not much info on this. I know there are a lot of
these rings in use so how did you configure the coax so it
won't sag into the ring, won't get hung up in the guy wires etc
yet get 360deg rotation. I have my method just wonder what the so called
standard practice may be.

Any real installation experience will be much appreciated.

TNX Tim, Ky5R

obtw...Rings are new models 1016E just for 25G and booms of 30ft or less.
Using all Hy-Gain stuff 204, 155.105 hr. Assy are all aluminum and powder
coated.
