Hey folks,
I’m in the middle of installing a new setup, and am wondering if what I’m about to do will have any detrimental affects on the system. Installing a triband antenna (diamond x6000a). It will be mounted via a 10’ 1 1/2” conduit pipe (aluminum) on the side of my house 35’ up. I’m planning on running the LMR400 coax inside that 10’ section of pipe, out the top and back down 1’ (in a loop) to connect to the N connector/feed point of the antenna which will be mounted to the top 1’ of the conduit via the normal u bolts.
I’m wondering if there will be any loss or other issues caused By running it inside the 10’ of conduit? I would think it would not, but possibly an affect on impedance or something?
For reference, I want to run it inside the conduit because I live in a high wind area (basically on the ocean/coast) and I don’t want the cable banging, rattling... against the conduit in the wind (like the rigging on sailboats often do).
