[TowerTalk] Fwd: Bulkhead feed-through.

[n8de at thepoint.net]

I don't understand Ron's post at all.

My bulkhead is my SPG and is mounted in a vent about 1 foot from the  
ground rod outside the house.

In reference to the original question:
IF the bulkhead connectors are secure and there is a DRIP LOOP on the  
INSIDE of them, there should be NO problem with water inside the  
coax/bulkhead connector.
