Keith,
I have two questions: Do you keep the two coax pieces separated by the
same spacing as your feed line,...or can you make ONE hole in the
wall/window and feed both coax through one hole ?
Does it matter which end of the shields get tied together; inside the
wall or outside the wall ?
Do you make the lengths of the coax JUST long enough to protrude outside
and inside of the wall or how long ?
Thanks, and it sounds like a very good idea.
73, Ken WA4RPH

To feed open wire through a wall - use coax. But not like you think.
Get 2 pieces of coax, equal in length. Route them through the wall,
connect center conductor only, one to each leg of the ladder line.
Then, inside the shack, short the coax shields together and continue the
run to your shack with ladder line. There you have a coax cable based
wall through method.
Or maybe continue with the parallel coax right to the in-shack coupler.
