Had a major case of memory corruption - my coax is RG-58, not the
larger 8X ;-). I think I'll admit defeat and just find a way to
shoehorn another coax up the mast. Maybe I'll just drill thru the
cabintop and epoxy a stainless threaded SO-239 nipple thru it so the
balsa core of the fiberglass won't suck up moisture like a sponge.
Then just make another run up the mast.

The problem with drilling a larger hole in the mast step is that it's
harder to seal against moisture when you have lots of cables in a
relatively large hole. Water inevitably gets in...



Let me reiterate, the Motorola white Teflon jacketed RG-58 type coax is
slightly smaller in diameter than regular RG-58 coax, but not any more
loss. Plus, the Teflon jacket is very slick, making pulling it in tight
quarters easier. I'd still suggest you use the original coax as a pull
line and pull up two of these Teflon jacketed coaxes.
