[TowerTalk] Ham Shack Cable Entry

[Gene S.]

I'm in the process of having a new home built.  The shack is on the first
floor at ground level, no basement. There will be a disconnect panel
mounted on the outside of the side of the home, 20 feet from the operating
position, where the Polyphaser "stuff" will be installed. The tower is
another 50 feet from that disconnect panel.

I'm looking for ideas on how to bring the cables into the shack.  At this
moment the builder ran 4 inch and 2 inch conduits from the disconnect panel
to the outside wall closest to the proposed operating position. The
conduits are inside a currently unfinished 2X6 wall,  vertically positioned
and capped.

The builder wants to know how I want to finish this part of the
installation.  He suggested a small electrical panel mounted near the
floor,  or  90 degree elbows which the sheet rock guy will blend into the
finished wall.

I can think of a couple of other alternatives, such as an aluminum or
copper panel populated with UHF 
feedthru connectors. 

Your ideas via E-mail would be appreciated,  I'll consolidate them into one
file.

Thanks

Gene Spinelli,  K5GS
