I have a new house and my main concern is not having my homeowner's
insurance nullified in the case of fire because of my ham radio setup.

I have regular coax running 100 watts through the attic.

1)Is this a violation of the National Electrical Code?



The ARRL hand book has a few paragraphs on this. It seems that if the coax
is grounded you are ok. If not coax then the wire needs to be sujpported 3
inches from the walls on insulators and comes into the building through an
insulated tube.
