Hi Nick,
Not sure where you going with the larger conduit and what type of losses.
From my limited knowledge, conduit fill is a function of the rated wire
ampacity and the resultant I-sqr'd-R loss if the wire is pushed to rated
ampacity, which shouldn't be an issue on the coax, and a later poster
replied with the correct rotor wire size. If you talking about signal
loss on RG6 over that distance I've had that cable laying on the ground to
the tower location for a couple of years and get a strong signal, physical
damage to the exposed wire is the problem. I assumed the coax shielding,
properly grounded would take care of problems running in the same conduit
with Sat. TV and Rotor wiring
Please reply if you have more insight on this.
Thanks Jeff


Hi Jeff,

I may have read it wrong, but I understand that the run from the shack to
the tower
is some 400 feet, and the conduit is one inch diameter...

This to take a feeder ( presumably co-ax) and a rotator control cable and
possibly a separate
co-ax for the satellite ?

I would have thought the co-ax would have to be quite a large diameter to
minimise losses, and this
with the other one (or two ?) cables down a 1" conduit that long just struck
me as completely impossible
and possibly undesirable from interaction effects ?
