Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Bulkhead Source
Warren, I personally am not aware of any commercially available units
although those in the industry might have some info. However, when I
built my house I had a large, heavy gauge aluminum plate made up with
holes appropriate for UHF and N bulkhead connectors (6 of each), 8 pin
Jones sockets for rotor cables (3), ceramic feed throughs for open wire
line (3 pairs) and multiple assemblies (8) of short lengths of threaded
rod with wing nuts and washers on both sides for ground connections.
The plate is sized to fit between the joists and is mounted on the shack
side of the wall. The plate is accessible from the outside through a
similar sized hole in the outer wall. Covering the outside hole is a
wooden "bat house" assembly with a hinged door to allow easy access to
the plate from the outside and opened at the bottom to allow cables to
be brought in and connected. I fill the whole bat house with fiberglass
insulation to minimize heat loss. It's easy to remove when I have to
access the panel from the outside.
73, Joe
