I have just about finished up my 75 ft. 25G tower and loaded it with mostly
VHF and UHF antennas. My problem now is getting all of this coax into the
house and to the shack area. Since I will have maybe up to ten RG8 size or
larger coax cables I will need a fairly good size hole. I plan to go
through a brick wall about 8 ft off the ground. This will get me into the
basement area just above the concrete block inner wall. The outside brick
wall is about 28 ft. high. Is it usually safe to remove a brick or cut out
half a brick to pass these cables? Should I replace the removed brick with
some sort of steel insert to to support the load but still pass the cables.
The only other choice I have is to go through a window which I hope I
don't have to use.
