[TowerTalk] How to deal with Coax on a Crankup Tower

[Bob K6UJ]

I also ended with option 1.
I was lucky and saw the coax snagging and stopped it in time.  Decided to let it hang down thru the sidearm loops.
Normally it is up but when I retract it when a storm is coming etc,  I coil it up with big loops and hang it on a hose rack mounted on the side of the house
to keep the xyl happy :-)
