[amsat-bb] Attaching the coax to antenna boom

   Building my new ground station and another question. I have always only elevated my antenna 90 degrees. I loose about 20 25 seconds while the azimuth rotator turns 180 degrees to track the rest of the pass. I have just let the coax hang off the back of the antennas in a big loop. I am afraid it will get hung up going 180 degrees. Question, Can I attach the coax to the antenna boom and run it back until it gets to the cross boom or will that throw off the radiation pattern?   
Thanks 73
