I use "Buryflex" available from Davis RF and Wireman for the loops on a
rotating tower - so far so good - very low loss for a short run like a
loop.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 9913 in rotating app
Greetings:
Is there a recommended (i.e., possible) method for using 9913 (non-flex)
coax in a rotating antenna application? I have a set of m^2
uhf/vhf yagis mounted on one boom with feedpoint near the ends (both
yagis have 10 foot booms). The cross boom to which the pair is mounted
is 7 feet long. Given that I need 360 degrees az and 90 degrees el, can
9913 be used without breaking? If so, what would be the recommended
method for connecting the coax?
I am considering using sections of 9913 flex from the ground point at
the top of the roof mount tower to the yagis, but would prefer using the
9913 non-flex all the way since I have a fair quantity of it.
thanks,
Reid W0FVR
