[TowerTalk] Rotor loop coax choices ?

[TexasRF--- via TowerTalk]

Hi Mark, what is the concern for double shielded rotor loops? I realize it  
will not hurt anything to use double shielded cable for that but why is 
that an  issue?

Thanks  all for the comments and suggestions.  Re the length I typically 
run the  "rotor loop" all the way to the antenna feed point (rather than just 
using it  to by pass the rotor.)  

The suggestion to use short rotor loops  does have a lot of merit if I am 
going to buy RG 214 style coax or something  similar.   

I'll ponder the shielding issue some  more.   Using high quality RG 213 
style coax from before the rotor  to the antenna feed point may well be the way 
to go if I don't want to pay for  the double shielded cable with silver 
covered conductors.  

Best  regards
