[elecraft] ANTENNAE LINE THROUGH WALL INTALLATION

[k3yt at adelphia.net]

Hi Bill,

When we moved into our house 11 years ago
I put a feed through in the concrete block wall.

I used 2 inch PVC.  I drew out the size of the
circle I needed and cut out the drywall.  Make sure 
that there are not any 110v lines where you want
 to put the feed through.  Also try to place it so you
are going through a hollow spot on the block.   Then I
drilled a series of small holes
on the circumference.  Then I just hit it with  
a hammer and knocked it out.   Same for the outside.

I got some stucco patch at Home Depot and patched around
the PVC on the outside.  I finished it by putting a 90 degree fitting on as
a weatherhead.

Don't fill it with expanding foam...you'll regret it.  A small piece of
fiberglas insulation will keep out wind and critters.

Anyway that is what I did....the cheap way and still is fine.

Went throught Frances, Jeanne and Wilma.
