[TowerTalk] Rotor loop coax choices ?

[john at kk9a.com]

I have been using Belden 8267 for rotator loops for decades.  As K5GW said
one time, it is tough as nails. Unfortunately the price of it has become
ridiculous, it is more than I pay for new surplus LDF4 Heliax. Luckily I
do not use a lot of it.  I also see no reason to require double shield
coax.

I saw that Belden 8267 (RG213) has a non contaminating PVC jacket and that
would represent good value especially for the lower bands where the loss is
 already low.

I personally would choose Davis RF Buryflex over any of the Belden cables.
The quality and low loss has been proven and without the need to fund an
international marketing organization, the cost is substantially lower. I do
sell  some Belden cable for those who insist on the brand.
