So right now I run the coax from my HF antenna to a point just outside my window. When I want to operate I crank open the window and connect the coax from my rig to the end of the coax outside the window. I don't really have a way to leave it hooked up all the time because I don't want to leave the ground-level window partially open.
I want to run the coax into the house through the wall, up the inside of the wall into the attic above my office, across the floor of the attic and down the inside of a wall to an existing utility box that is where all my phone and network connections are routed. This means I'll have coax running alongside both phone and CAT5. Seems like a lot of RF. I'm only running 100W. I suppose someday I might get some kind of amp but it's not a priority. But I don't want to rule that out simply because of the way I routed my antenna feedline. I can choose a different routing for the feedline and terminate it in a different box that's a few feet away from my CAT5 and phone lines, but I'd prefer not to have to install a new box. So my question is, is all that RF going to interfere with my network connection or my phones? Any thoughts or recommendations?
