    "content": "I would do like I did to my 9913. This is rather stiff cable. I went a \ncouple of turns loosely around the mast and around the boom for \nelevation. I would do this with the antennas at 0 elevation and 360/0 \ndegree azimuth. In this way it acts like a simple spring which opens or \ntightens slightly as the rotation of the mast and/or boom occur. I had \nmy 9913 this way for over 15 years without a problem. I suspect the \nLMR400 should work the same. In this way you are not inducing any losses \nwith additional cables and connectors.\n\nJust my two cents.\n\nReid, W4UPD\nAmsat: 17002\n\n\nOn 3/31/2016 9:35 PM, Scott wrote:\n> I hope to put up my first rotating antenna soon and just received a nice length of LMR-400 to use.
