1/2" pvc is somewhere between 3/4-7/8" in dia, and I only
had a 5/8" drill bit to get into the attic. So pushing the
pvc into the attic wasn't going to work. I had thought of
that though. At one time someone made a thin wall sleeve for
the purpose of lining holes in exterior walls to push coax
through. If you drill through CBS walls and hit a hollow
pocket you will have a problem getting the coax through
if it curls up inside the pocket, hence the sleeve.
The local ham radio outlet didn't have any of the sleeving
though. (Wonder where I saw it...?)

Radio Shack sells something of that sort. It comes with a plug at each
end, with an RG-58-sized hole in the plug. The sleeve itself isn't
_quite_ big enough to pass a PL-259, which I found disappointing.
