[TowerTalk] Running coax into the basement

[Steve Gehring]

Hi Dan,

You may consider a penetration and pvc that size, but I would include a
single point grounding plate mounted in a weatherproof fiberglass Hoffman
box.  In turn, this box would be mounted over the hole on the outside of the
structure.  This way, all of your coax, rotor control and other house
bonding cables can be properly grounded within the box.  It'll require a bit
of engineering on your part - but that's what makes it fun!

How are people getting their coax into the shack in
the basement ?? i was thinking of using 4" pvc pipe
with a cap on the outside with holes drilled for coax
and sealing around each coax run with rtv when i put
them in ....

thanks
