Finally trying to get on from my apartment. Going to use long wire
(stealth) and tuner. Will be running max of 100 watts, digital about 30 watts. Thinking of using small sked 40 pipe to snake through a window (metal) with an outside brick corner. Just concerned with the wall thickness of the pipe. Thanks http://www.harvel.com/PVCCPVCduct.html has a table of physical and electrical characteristics for their PVC and CPVC ducting. PVC duct is listed as having a dielectric strength of 1413 volts per mil. I don't think you're going to have a problem with regard to insulation. I'd suggest keeping the PVC-with-wire-inside several inches away from the metal, though, if possible. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

Sched 40 PVC is fine and will work for what you want. Don't forget to stuff
the PVC after you've run your feedline through, to keep the critters out... See you on the air. 73, Mike KI6PR El Rancho R.F., CA "KenW" wrote Finally trying to get on from my apartment.
