This is confusing because the subject does not match the contents of  
the post.  When people reply that this coax has worked well for them  
for years I wonder which coax they are referring to - Bury-FLEX or  
LMR-400?  I purchased LMR-400 to make temporary antenna cables and I  
found it to be quite stiff, at least compared to the Belden RG-213  
that I have used for years. So I sold it and bought LMR-400UF which is  
much more flexible but unfortunately not good for long term outdoor  
exposure.

If cost is not a factor, what is the best rotator loop coax for HR?   
What do the big stations like K3LR, K1LZ, W3LPL, etc use?

I  plan to run LMR 400 up to the top of the tower, and the lowest loss
coax for the remaining antennas on the mast. It's advertised as being
flexible and capable of being used as a rotor loop.  Have you used it
this way?
