[TowerTalk] Bringing feedlines through the floor

[n8de at thepoint.net]

I lifted one edge of a real heating duct, then, with some prying,  
moved one side of the duct away from the opening and ran all the coax  
and control lines through the new opening which is below the floor  
level.
Soon will need to run one ladder-line through that opening and not  
sure how well I can insulate it from the metal of the duct.
Keep tuned.
