well none of the above stops the Lightning getting into shack and racing
around zapping all and sundry ?
i got a Border Collie here that could get coax into a shack, stop getting
gear zapped , well thats different
heres what I did,
get ur coax from INSIDE TO OUTER WALL,
Terminate it pl259's or whatever, make 2 pieces of ally box section that
will fit together, on the outer side, alighn SO-239's on both ally pieces,
one to collect the coax from INSIDE the shack, and another row to collect
the terminated coax from the antennas,, slide the ally box section together,
and connect centre of SO-239's to SO -239's with BANANA PLUG centres to
ensure a RF connection,
position a Bolt on one side of one ally section, and form a S shaped piece
of ally flat with a hole drilled into it, to take a thin piece of rope,
terminate all so-239s with appropiate coax's ?/ all done, STORM comes, pull
rope, S shape pivots against the bolt in the ally section and UNPLUGS all
antennas together, KEEPING all the nasties OUTSIDE, when storm has gone
plug it back in,
been using one for 15 yrs,

will gladly take some pics if anyone wants

I drilled the wall and put in a section of PVC. Ran all the coax and

I know you can get UHF type feedthrus in various lengths,
but do they exist in "N" Connector style.
What do folks use to run coax thru walls ?

Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ

Dick, I use a drill followed by a length of coax.

FOAM?? No!

Dick, get a tube of colored caulking compound. I use BROWN for a brown
house [of course]. It makes a weather and insect proof seal and is easily
removed if needed [simply pull the coax and both the coax and caulking
come right out].
