I am in the final planning stages prior to the installation of a 4el SteppIR 
onto a 70' Trylon self-supporting tower. 
The antenna will be positioned about 3' above the top of the tower.

How do I prepare the coax and control cables for the transition from the 
rotating antenna to the fixed tower?
Do I fabricate lengths of replaceable cable just for the transition (rotor 
loop)?
How do I route the cables? Multiple turns loosely around the mast like a 
spring? Just a single drooping loop?
How long should they be?
Any special coax? The antenna coax fitting is not accessible. Will Bury-Flex 
provide adequate service?

Cheers,
