I'm wondering if there is a particular way a loop for the coax should be made to allow for the rotator to turn the antenna without straining the coax, and also to keep it relatively free from too much movement in the wind.

I have a short section of mast above the rotator, about 12", and over time the loop has sagged and has been contacting the now rusty clamp below the rotator. I have a V-type log periodic, AntennaCraft VU-160XR VHF/FM/UHF antenna. I have the coax taped to the lower section of boom and then it curves downward and has the coax loop near the rotator. I thought about going a bit further out towards the back of the antenna, along the lower boom and then making a 'curve' to the mast below the rotator but I don't want it to contact the chimney or move too much in the wind.
