[Antennas] Question

[Rick Bullon]

Hello Rudy
What I do is open the window and put a piece of plexiglass in the opening 
(The window in the shack is a vertical sliding window). I then place a short 
piece of broomstick between the sliding part of the window and the window 
frame so no one can open the window from the outside.
I have feed thru connectors in holes drilled in the plexiglass. for the 
coax. Control lines for the rotor and switching are feed from the shack 
though holes in the plexiglass with  4 pin trailer connectors on the outside 
end to mate with the lines coming from the lightning suppressors in the 
metal box out side and below the window.
One tip mark the freed thru connectors and control line on both sides of the 
plexiglass so no matter if you are inside the shack or outside the window 
you know what goes where.

Living here in the valley of the sun, Chandler, Az in my case, a large
majority of us live in stucco-clad homes. If this is your situation or even
any other type of construction, I was wondering how you brought in your
antenna feedlines and other wires into your shack? Did you go through the
wall? If so how, what kind of installation did you do? Through the window?
Under the door? If your antenna's are in the attic, how'd you bring the same
wires down to your operating station? An inquiring mind would like to know.
T.I.A.
