[TowerTalk] how to do coax on ring rotor?

[StellarCAT]

Thanks Tim ... as I wrote David direct -  it was a "DUH!" moment when I read 
his note - which was to use the truss support upright. I have been focusing 
too much on the actual antenna and the coax along the boom .... thinking 
loops around the tower and drapes etc.... I hadn't even considered the truss 
support. That should be pretty straight forward.

I do have a guy right below, within 3', so I'm reluctant to let it hang down 
directly from the boom .... although it looks like that is what you do Tim.

Hello Gary:

You can go to my website and see lots of photos of coax with ring rotors. 
There are 23 ring rotors here - so if you have questions after looking at 
the photos and videos - please email me and I will help

http://www.k3lr.com  look at contest photos and videos

I’ve got two TIC ring rotors that are going up – hopefully this spring ... 
they’ll have 2 7 element 10’s on them ... (yeah, I know, 10M’s).... and I’m 
trying to figure out the best way to handle the coax coming off of the 
antennas. Both going up from the ring as well as going down. I need up 
because one of the rings will be mounted 4’ above a guy point so going down 
isn’t likely to be a solution.

Anyone done this already and gone through the trials and tribulations of 
getting it right?

You’re welcome to write direct to my ARRL email address or post here...

thanks – Gary, K9RX
