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.
