Hello Cookie, Wow - you must have a HUGE tower! More power to you ;-) Yes, I use LMR600UF (Ultra Flex) around the rotor...you can't use cable with a solid center conductor in an application requiring repeated flexing. The special connectors work fine, but you have to take some care and make sure you put them on properly. I just take my time when I have to put them on...it is worth it to have such low loss cable! I agree...you won't do much weak signal work with 3.5 dB loss ahead of the preamp! GL and VY 73, Lance
