Just found one myself, can’t wait to test it out.

All FCC rules are specified in PEP watts also.

I’ve been running overhead coax RG312 cable from my shop to where I have my Antenna mounted on my shed, 20’ away. To try to quiet my receive down from a noisy city environment, I started digging through the garden and found some abandoned 2” PCV irrigation pipe that I can feed through for alot...

Anybody use these or have recommendations on a quality product? I’m using 1” galvanized water pipe 28’, for supporting my SPT-500 antenna. Willing to try something different to quiet down my receive. This was mentioned in a previous post, didn’t want to derail. Thanks.

The video you posted demonstrates ( not just words on a forum ) why you don't want metal masts ground wires & unchoked coax connected to your antenna & also near a noise source(y). How would not grounding metal masts, work out with the National electrical code?

Very cool, your going to have fun with that!
