I have a Thunderbolt (thanks TAPR!) located in a second floor room of my house which has only an obstructed view of the sky. There's no easy way to get to that room, short of putting an antenna on the roof and punching a hole in the wall to get inside. For some reason, my wife takes a dim view of that plan.
Plan B would be to mount the antenna near an attic vent, run the cabling inside, go through the attic and drill down into one of the inner walls to terminate in an outlet box of some sort. So the dedicated time-nuts may laugh at plan C. This is to mount an antenna on roof near the garage and connect to the RG6 CATV run from the garage to this room. I'd guess it's about 60-70ft of RG6. Can RG6 pass the 1.5Ghz signal successfully? Is the Thunderbolt sensitive enough to be used this way? Has anyone tried this?
