One of the problems with beams is the cable winding around

These difficulties have long been solved in the world of radar,
so, has anyone conceived of an infinitely rotatable 50 ohm
coupling for our beam antennae?


Sounds like a $200 solution to a $0.75 problem, i.e. an extra foot or
two of coax to allow slack for turning.


With 4 different yagis on the mast, a large, bundled loop of
coax(es) *HAS* to be The Way To Go.
