I am building a 15 ele yagi for 2m and would like to use the Westflex but I'm concerned that it might be a bit too stiff to use with a rotator mounted antenna. Has anyone tried this ? Yes, to my grief. If it's bent sharply, the inner conductor is pushed sideways and the copper foil tears. Even if you use a very big loop, the bending still tends to be concentrated into two small areas at the ends of the loop. It's better to get down below the rotator loop in a more flexible cable such as RG213, and then change to the low-loss Westflex for the longer part of the run. -- Joining the two lengths with 'N' plugs / adaptor ???
