The crank up cable certainly should provide some sort of section continuity if a cage is use on the out side of the crank up. Little, IMHO would be lost even if there was some pour connection in the on the section rollers. Hoping they are not nylon like on some cheap crank up and galvanize metal rollers, the cage and the crank up cable itself should provide what is needed for a top load radiator of a 70 foot crank up with a triband or other beams on top. For TX it would certainly be preferable to a half sloper or inverted vee for DX penetration. As Guy K2AV points out....its all in the earth below that make something like this work or not.
