[TowerTalk] Can 1/4" or 3/8" Andrew SUPERFLEX be used for a Rotor loop?

[Mac]

Indeed I have done this and continue to do it, ONLY with using 1/2" 
superflex and not ONE issue or regret, absolutely not a single issue.  
Now that said, i do use a cable grip or woven sock, or at the political 
risk of calling it a Chinese finger grip to hold all the weight below 
the grip thereby the "loop and such is essentially weight free and only 
has to make the 400 degree or so circle.. I let my tower beam "over 
travel" about 20 degrees in each extrema direction.

While likely not determinable, i like the idea of my feedline being 
unbroken as well not dealing with water proofing the connection points 
of the cables..

I'd like to use a one piece Superflex cable from the shack to the my VHF antenna including having it form the rotor loop.  I'd locate a large rotor loop in the middle of the rotor rotation range so the most the Superflex would ever have to move is 180 degrees.
