[TowerTalk] 90 degree coax bend atop a crankup tower

[Robert Harmon]

Me again.
FWIW,  these are the cable strain relief grips I use.  One nice thing about these is you dont have to 
rull the cable through to attach as you do with the braided ones.   
These install right on the side of the cable easily and the sliding tapered clamp grips very well from the
weight of the cable.  I have been using them for years and no problems.
They are made by Hubbell I believe rather than Kellem.
