[K3CAL] Roof top antenna help

[Mike Stevens]

Hey Andy,

Not sure about your routing needs, but I ran mine from the attic to the basement by drilling a small hole next to a radon pipe (pvc) that is in a closet. A little duct seal closed off everything around the coax in the ceiling and the floor of the closet. As I ran the coax behind the pvc you can’t even see it unless you go looking for it. Some zip ties keep it snug to the pipe and nothing is outside the house. 

I know everyone’s install is unique though, but I’m sure you can work it out. Let me know if I can help. Good luck with your install.
