Dan,
I was spoiled. I build an addition and had the contractor put 3" PVC into the
house foundation and into the concrete tower base. I then dug a shallow ditch
to the tower base. I use all gentle, sweeping 90degree bends. There are two,
one in the concrete base and one in the foundation under my shack. The PVC
tube pops up just behind my equipment rack in the false wall between my shack
and a tool room. So the coax only goes two or three feet from PVC to
equipment. Makes it a clean set up.
There are a number of things I would have done differently. I would have used
larger tubing. I have five ultraflex cables, two control cables (steppir and
rotor), a weather cable and a spare pull cable. It is very tight. I needed
pulling lube to get it sliding through. Used a steel handcuff and steel fish
tape to pull the cable assembly through.
Happy to send you photos. Hope that helps. Michael K3MH

with a cap on the outside with holes drilled for coax
and sealing around each coax run with rtv when i put
them in ....
