DIY feed-through panel for your antenna cables
DIY feed-through panel for your antenna cables I'm fortunate that I have a nice warm space inside to use as my "shack", but logically my various antennae are outside, so how do I get the cables from the antenna to my radios? I don't want to go drilling holes in walls etc. because that would make me very unpopular with my wife and it would also invite leaks, drafts, pests and other generally unwanted things. Since I have a large window near where my gear will be located, I hit on the idea of making a filler panel and then attach a bunch of connectors to it. Naturally I wanted it to look as nice as possible. The only modification to required to the window is to remove the insect screen. In my case, this is fine since we never open this window anyway. Otherwise you may consider making up a narrower screen. The window closes up on this panel holding it in place and keeping everything sealed up. I chose bulkhead connectors because I don't need to solder any connect...
