Default Dryer Vent Lead In

Is it possible to use a dryer vent as a place to bring in my coax?
It doesn't seem like the air coming out is too hot for the coax...
Does anyone have any experience with this?


You need to check the maximum temperature at the end of a drying cycle when
the clothes have no water left in them and the temperature of the exhause
air is highest.

If it is less than the maximum temperature for the coax (typically around
60 deg C, then you can set about derating the power handling capability for
the coax in the higher ambient temperature.
