Hi Guys, When I was in high school in the late 70s, I left my window open a crack for my RG-58/U cable to run from my bedroom to our backyard dipole. I was using my Drake R-4B/T-4XB at about 120 watts PEP. Fast forward to today. I am finally setting up my shack after an embarrassingly long hiatus. But I would like to run cable out the window or through the wall from my home office/shack to the side yard. I could close the sliding window on a small piece of plywood with connectors on both sides. Or I could go through the wall near the ground and have connectors on both sides. How do you guys run cable outside? I may want to use higher power than the RG-58/U is suited for. Something like RG-8U or LMR-400. Thank you guys. 73, Jim (W2JGK)

A local ham has a request for assistance...If you can help, reach out to him directly at "vince AT KN6TZA.org: Hello, I'm in the process of buying property in Queen Creek. Installing my ham radio tower would be part of the deal, which is one of the main reasons I want to get a more considerable lot for personal use. I've been trying to get some help from development services in both the city of Queen Creek and Pinal County, with limited results. I was wondering if somebody in your radio club has experience with this, so I can get a pointer in the right direction. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you Vince Lopez W7HMO vince@...
