[450] Slack Loop Addendun

[Bob]

I don't have any close up pictures, so I'll try to explain....
dress the cable from the beam in a straight line domn the mast with wire ties ont he OPPOSING side of the mast from the "rotor stop"......put the LAST wire tie (idealy MORE than one at this point) a foot or two above the rotor.   With the antenna turned halfway through rotation (if your "stop is NORTH, then point it SOUTH) bulge the cable out a foot or more so it makes a hump in the same direction the antenna is pointed, then start strpping it to the mast BELOW the rotor at about a foot or two down the mast and continue down with your ties.
This should allow you enough slack in either direction of rotation.
Get it?

  Pictures OR diagrams would be greatly apprecited.  No rush, the beam is coming from M2 in California, and I was told it might be about a week.
