[time-nuts] T'bolt antenna lead-in running near HF RF transmitting coax

[J. Forster]

I thought of that, but I know where Jim lives and copper pipes stiking
through a wall would gather condensation and ice on the inside because
it'd conduct the sub-freezing temps inside and maske a real mess. The
situation would be reversed in summer.

He could use PVC pipe wrapped with a layer of adhesive copper foil with
the seams soldered.
