I'm about to string up some new coax and instead of fighting my attic,

secure. I have vinyl siding, any advice for attachment? (I've seen
nail-on clips for RG58/59 but none for RG8.) Also, is there any way to
dress up the hole for the coax? Maybe some kind of tube that has a
flange? BTW, this is RG8.

I agree with that. I put a 3 or 4 inch hole in a house and put a piece of
PVC tubing through the hole. Then took some screen wire and wrapped it
around several coax and rotator cables comming through the pvc tube.
That was after the first two holes in the outside wall.

I moved and have 11 cables comming through the bottom part of a window in
the new house. Raised it a couple of inches, put a layer of foam insulation
down like you insualte copper pipes in the house with, then the coax,and
then another layer of the foam insulation. Then lowered the window on that.
