LMR400 is really stiff. 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.

OK all. I'm installing a 6m rotating beam and feeding it with LMR400. Would you
connect the LMR to the antenna and allow it to move with the rotation, or run a
short length of something much more flexible between the antenna and LMR? I
have my concerns that the solid heavy inner conductor of the LMR won't take
much movement.
