[Towertalk] Feeding RG-8 Through Walls

[Jim Smith]

I just bought some double-female UHF connectors aka barrel connectors 
from Alfa Radio in Edmonton for just this purpose.  They are 6" long, 
are threaded over their full length and have a couple of nuts on them. 
 I have seen even longer ones at an American supplier who's name I 
forget but who is on the net.  So, drill appropriate size holes, poke 
'em through and caulk as required.  If needed, a couple of pieces of 
sheet aluminum with appropriate size holes could go on either side of 
the wall to give the nuts something to press against.

Hope this helps
