Is it possible to use a dryer vent as a place to bring in my coax? It

have any experience with this?

Thanks.


If you can do it without kinking the coax too much, which could cause
the center conductor to touch the braid, especially with hot air
softening the foam-or-whatever insulation, it could be workable.

Of couse, in loosening the air tube from the vent, you may end up with
hot air in the house, unless you seal everything over.

Never done it with a dryer vent but I have done it with a plumbing vent. I
installed a T in an attic and ran the coax up through the roof. Make sure
you seal where the coax goes into the T or you will get some funky odors in
your house.
