[TowerTalk] Kellums Grip for supporting cables aat tower top

[Peter Voelpel]

Sure, I turn RG217 and LCF12-50 on Versatower crank-up.
Use also RG218 as rotator loop on fixed tower.

Probably tape and some good cable ties would work. I am wondering if RG217
is flexible enough for a crank-up tower and rotator loop?

I know what they are and do not need one for pulling thru conduit.  But I
would like a clean way to support the 70' of cable going up to the top of my
DX-70 telescoping tower.

The question is if it is bad form to put more than one cable into the grip.
I understand that the braid will not fully contact any one cable.  The only
reason to consider mor than one per grip is that they seem to cost over $30
each.

Any alternate common method to support cables would be appreciated.  I
suppose good tape on top section is always an option.  Using one RG217, one
rotator cable and one 24 conductor for DB36 control.

Thanks.
