[Towertalk] Feeding RG-8 Through Walls

[Barry Schieferstein]

I use an outdoor electrical entrance piece.  I don't remember what it is
called but it is two pieces - one PVC pipe like about 5" long, the second is
a cap that goes over the pipe that makes the entrance a right angle.  It is
about 3" in diameter so it is big enough for multiple coax/rotor runs.  I
just stuffed a rag in it on the inside to keep the weather/critters out.
Another option is RadioShack's wall-feed-thru tube (plastic tube with
bushings on the end) that is big enough for RG-8 and a roter cable.
