[TowerTalk] Not getting caught

[n8de at thepoint.net]

How about putting the preamp up on the mast, just above the lower  
antenna?  That way, the ONLY coax going down past the tower-top is a  
single run to the preamp.  You could affix the coax from the two  
antennas ABOVE the preamp, moving the loops of cable away from the  
tower-top.
