I use a lot of Davis BuryFlex(TM), but I'd not recommend it on 1296. I
don't operate "up there" so I don't know what the going choice is, for
low loss, "relatively" flexible cable for rotator loops.
they may just use a multi turn coil, (coiled like a watch spring) of the
"big stuff". I'm sure we have at least one or two microwave and EME
operators on here that could give you "the straight dope" that know far
more about those frequencies and operation than I, which ain't much.
73 and good luck,

You mention 600 UF. I've used a fair amount of it and found very
poor life with the stuff. Poor resistance to UV and easily abraded
if it rubs against something like the tower top in a rotator loop.
Yes I know LMR-###-UF is not very good outdoors. I'm using one
of the other vendors LMR-400-UF (sort of) equivalent with a better
jacket in places where I can use 400. I'm not aware of a generic
LMR-600-UF with a better jacket. Is there one available? 1500w at
432 MHz and loss at 1296 MHz creates some problems with small cables
like 400. Unless there is something else available, Superflex has
it's problems also, I'll put something over the jacket to help with
the uV and abrasion and replace as needed.
