I finished up a 100 foot of Rohn 25 with its base about 80 feet
from the house. To get them into the basement, I used a
concrete saw and hammer to make a 3 inch hole. then I took a
piece of hard PVC, fitted it into the hole. I then filled the
space around the pvc between the other wall with some compressed
insulating-foam-in-a-can (forget what its actually called,
carpenters uses it a lot). Finally I cemented (or grouted)
around the PVC on both sides of the wall. To keep rain out, I
used a 45 degree elbow pointed down on the outside. I'm about
half full in it with eight 1/2inch and one 3/4 inch hardline,
two RG-8's and a couple fo RG-58's runs. XYL approved.
