I do the same as Josh: http://www.kl7uw.com/6m&Dish_Dec-2013_1.jpg
Multiple turns of LMR-400. That connects to 7/8-Heliax coming up the tower leg.

When I used it as a rotor loop, I made a couple of hoops around rather than directly flexing the cable around the tower. Not sure if that makes sense. In any case, doing it again I would definitely use a more flexible jumper for the rotor loop running to the antenna. In the shack I'm making jumpers from RG-214 which is very flexible and would work great as a rotor loop as well. 73, Josh W6XU 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
