Run a metal snake into the conduit then get a metal detector and sweep the area for the conduit. If this doesn't work there are wire tracing detectors that might do the job. You hook the transmitter to the snake and sweep with the detector. If all fails you might try a metal probe. Stick the probe into the ground and feel for the conduit. Or dig up a couple of feet of conduit. Note the direction it is going then move in that direction and dig a small trench where you thing the conduit is. One of these methods should work. If all fails install new conduit. Dave WD9BDZ Dave, your idea above, plus some comments from others has made me realize that this is the way I should proceed, for my first attempt. I do have a Service Monitor. I'll simply run my snake into the empty pvc conduit until it hits the end ( duct tape ) and connect an RF signal to it, then using a small HT, track the signal down to the end. My thanks to all for other ideas presented here, too. Ed K7AAT Ed; Thanks for the compliment. I wish you luck and envy you for your acreage for antenna's. My lot here in St. Louis is something like 40 feet by 120 feet with the house in the center. I do have some trees along the back alley that I have wire hanging from. Works but not optimal. Let us know how everything works out. Dave WD9BDZ |
