Re: [Elecraft] Other: Can you run coax inside metal conduit?

A number of years ago I had a vertical in the woods in my back yard. Between the woods and the house was 30 feet of grass. I buried my coax for that stretch in PVC under the grass and into the house. Once in the woods the coax was exposed. The antenna system worked great until I then built a 60

If possible run the coax perpendicular to the house wiring to keep any coupling to a minimum. This was my configuration in the drop ceiling of my former house. I ran legal-limit with no issue whatsoever. YMMV of course… 73, Mark NB1U On Wed, Jun 12, 2024 at 1:28 PM Fred Jensen wrote: > OK. Li

OK. Lived for 38 years in a house started in 1925.  Knob-tube wiring.  You can run coax in metal conduit but NOT with power wiring.  If the load on the coax is unbalanced, RF current will likely flow on the outer surface of the shield and metal conduit will probably change the SWR. [Because of

HIHI, the house was built in 1960 and the feeds are a huge bundle of wires loosely run across the ceiling of the basement INCLUDING a copper water pipe (cringe). I’m in the process of re-routing the water pipe and looking for a safer way to support the wires. Just a ton of work. My intent with t

Do you mean metal conduit vs metal coax?? I don't know what you could mean by "metal coax". There is no technical problem running through conduit (although I don't know if there is a building code restriction). I used to have a problem where keying my transmitter on 20m rang the front doorbell. I

The short answer is that coax should be fine inside conduit, provided that the source and load are actually unbalanced. All the fields should be inside the coax, between the inner side of the outer shield and the inner conductor. However, if you, for example, connect a coax to a balanced antenn
