rotator coax

hi
Was going to put up some antennas turned via a rotator.
Normally I guess people use some 'flexible' type coax like a
RG213
Wondering if cost was no object is there some coax that is
better rated to withstand this type of repeated flexing ??
Thanks
Hi Ml:
There used to be a "type" of RG-8 coax called "superflex" that was much
more flexable than standard RG-8 (this was back when RG-8 was still a
mil standard)but I've not seen it for some time. But I've used RG-213
for years with no problems just remember to leave a big enough loop so
the coax is not stressed to much. The kind of coax with the foil under
the braid is NOT good for this loop.
