[TowerTalk] Coaxial Passthrough for Cinderblock Houses

[Art Greenberg]

Just drill away and use a good quality caulk to seal around the outside. If the block is solid or concrete filled, getting the cables through a drilled hole is easy. If not, use a wood dowel and some tape to guide it through. If you want, you can also caulk inside and apply some paint for appearance.

You do have lightning protection and a good ground outside, yes?
