I was just reading that PVC conduit that's buried will accumulate a lot of moisture from condensation. Before I bury my 3' of conduit for my RG6 cable, should I drill small holes in the bottom of the conduit ? I hope to do this tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks again

Thanks. I should be able to find those parts at Home Depot or Menards. My telescopic pole has round metal rings with 3 holes in them. I just need to find wire that will fit the holes. And what is typically used at ground level to connect the wire to ?

I may use guy wire for my antenna. What is typically used ? How is it secured and tightened ? Thanks.

Thanks. You talked me out of it.

Is there any reason I shouldn't put my ground rod in the post hole in the concrete ? It would save me a lot of pounding.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking of using electrical PVC conduit, probably 1/2". I wouldn't use the elbow at the house, just at the base of the pole, before the conduit goes underground. Also, when mounting the standoff bracket to the fascia board, I will only be able to screw into 1 structural...

Thanks. What if I use a 90 degree PVC elbow ? That would be used at the bottom of the pole, where the coaxial cable goes underground into the conduit. Then I can use a straight PVC run right to the side of the house, then thru the concrete block wall.

My antenna pole in the ground will be about 3' from the exterior wall that I will be bringing the coaxial cable through. How do you guys suggest I run the coax cable ? Buried inside a 1/2" or 3/4" electrical PVC conduit ? I'm not sure what fittings to use once I get to the concrete block wall...

Thanks

If I secure the antenna pole to my fascia board with a 12" standoff bracket, how do I find the 2X wood framing members behind the fascia board ? Will a stud finder work thru the aluminum facing which is over my 3/4" thick fascia board ? Thanks.

Thanks again. I won't know the I.D. until I take the antenna down. I need to give this more thought. :what2

So drill holes and run 2 bolts at 90 degree angles to each other. What size bolts ? Because 1" of pipe sticking up doesn't give me much room to have 2 bolts clear each other. Thanks.

1) I don't know the inside diameter, but the O.D. is 1-7/16". 2) Yes. I was hoping to use the telescopic pole as it is, and just move it to an inground location on the side of the house. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I didn't want to sink my telescopic pole in the ground because I would lose at least 3 feet of height. It currently is bolted to a 4x4 post on my deck, and the bottom of pole is about 1 foot above the ground. Add to that the 2-3 feet I'd lose underground, and I'd be losing 3-4 feet...

It's a big Winegard antenna. It looks similar to the HD8200U. I wasn't going to install it close enough to the house to secure it to the fascia board, but I can. Primestar31, are you talking about installing 2 fence rail poles in the ground, then mounting my telescopic pole to that? Or use 2...

With the antenna only 15' above ground, I didn't think I'd need to attach to house or use guy wires. I don't currently, and it's been up at least 15 years. The bottom half of the pole is screwed to the 4x4, but the top 8' is not secured to anything. I'm just trying to duplicate that scenario...

Thanks guys. The antenna height will be about 15' above ground. Electrolysis would only happen if the 2 poles were made of different metals correct ? I think my telescopic pole is galvanized. The bottom of my current pole is 2' above the ground.

What would be the best way to install an OTA antenna in the ground, on a telescoping pole ? It currently is bolted to the side of a 4x4 post on our deck, but it will need to be moved. It is about 15' above ground. I am thinking of setting a metal pole in concrete, then bolting or clamping the...
