[VHFcontesting] strain relief loop for your vhf/uhf beams?

[Jim Forsyth]

What is the engineering reason that you need a strain relief loop even 
though the coax is supported and there is no pull on the connector?

I have a dozen antennas arranged just as you describe, no problems so far 
after six years.
