[TowerTalk] Stainless steel wool source?

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Gene,
That should work, but metallic or plastic material still is subject to
pilfering by critters making their nests, so I would make a "pillow" of the
material with a doubled set of zip-locs.

Paul:

     Must the material be metallic?  If not, you might want to consider
simple fiberglass insulation batting.  (I'm assuming you want the material
to plug the PVC where coax cables emerge.)  I used insulation for years to
block the opening in my clothes drier vent that I used as the covering for
the coax cable access hole into my shack.
