Inching closer to trying to hoist this contraption. Both antennae are mounted to the mast, all the guy wire mounts and wires are done. Next up is wiring up the coax and rotor Should go quickly. I'm not sure if I should loop the two coax cables at the bottom near the rotor or at the top near the thrust bearing. Any opinion on this?

We decided there will be an additional pull rope going over the roof and fastened up by the base where the rotor is mounted to take some stress off the pipe joints. I hope the joints themselves are secure enough because of the inner and outer sleeves done at each joint. We'll soon see.
