[TowerTalk] Building entry

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

A similar example http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/cablebox.htm  
(3rd and 4th photos from the top. The coax cables come into the box 
through conduit, go through grounded Polyphasers, and then through 
another conduit stub through the plate on top of the basement wall.  
That stub can be filled with soft foam or just rage to keep critters ans 
weather out.
