[Elecraft] Antenna feedline Placement

[Jim Corbitt]

Hello everyone....I would appreciate any advice from the collective =
wisdom of this group regarding how to best route my antenna feedlines =
and earth ground into my shack.  The  shack  is in my basement and I am =
going to have to punch through a cinder block wall which will come =
outside the house at about ground level to route the feedlines.  My =
questions are:

         Is it OK to put 2 feedlines adjacent to each other to get =
outside to the antennas?  One feedline is ladder line and the other is =
RG-8 coax.  One will go to a loop antenna and the other to a dipole.  Is =
it OK to put the earth ground for the rig through the same opening?    I =
was thinking of routing  a plastic pipe  through the basement wall and =
up the side of the house for sort of a conduit to put the feedlines in.  =
 Would it be better to use a metal conduit?

I am getting back in the ham business after many years(just retired) and =
would appreciate any comments from the group.  Hopefully, a K2 is in the =
future.  Thanks very much...Jim N4XWA
