Thought some might be interested in my solution. I also use the drainpipe
through the wall method (2" in my case), but I neatened things up a bit with
two weatherproof enclosures - one on the inside and one on the outside.
These are the ones I used:

I cut circular holes in the backs of these boxes to match the pipe diameter
and the pipe is sealed to the boxes using clear silicone sealant.

These boxes have 5 glands/strain reliefs at the bottom to pass the cables
through and are ideal for RG213.

As I say, not likely to be useful to you, given the large number of cables
you have, but possibly of interest to others.

73,
Andy, G4KNO.
