<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't have any close up pictures, so I'll try to explain....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This should allow you enough slack in either direction of rotation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Get it?</FONT></DIV>
