I needed coax arms for my HDX-589, gave the measurements to KF7P for the
offsets and he made two sets for my that work perfectly - the coax hangs
straight in the rings from the top 90 degree bend hanger. I recommend
his stuff.
The figure 8 "flaking" of the lines is the way to go, and learned that
handling heavy anchor rodes.
