[TowerTalk] Andrews Heliax Conx

[Jerry]

For HF I don't think you can beat Davis Bury Flex.  Low loss at HF and 
holds up very well against the elements.  I've been using it for years 
here in the desert.

I know that unfortunately you can't use heliax on a crankup, due to it wanting to kink (except maybe from the ham shack to the top of the lowest non-moving section of the tower, probably about 20 feet above ground.) From there, what do people using things like the tall HDX-5106 towers use, to try to get a balance between feedline strength and low loss? That length alone could easily be about 100 feet of feedline, if you have an antenna on the upper part of a tall mast, and the length needed to get to the driven element.
