Entrance finished...
Coax cut to length with small chokes. Notice the vole blocking filters at the ends of the PVC. Time will tell if they like gray duck tape.

Multiband Dipole
This is the south end of the multiband dipole. See the snap line through which the antenna guy runs.
Weather front off to the west. Look closely and you can see the dipole going across the image.

Transition is Finished
First, a very sincere thank you to all the great colleagues that offered advice and a helping hand to make the two Boxwood antennas possible. You will see many of your suggestions as you look through the following pictures. All the weak points and failures are my own.
Yes, that single strand coming from the top wing nut has been cut off! I did not notice it until I looked at this picture in the warmth of the shack! :)

Choice
I can ground the equipment in the rack with either 1/4 stranded SS cable or 1" tinned copper strap. The straps would terminate on one leg of the rack held in place by a hose clamp. A single 1" strap would continue on to the wall plat where it would be securely attached with a stainless steel machine screw.
A 1/4" cable would be attached to the ground lug on each piece of equipment and would all be bound together at one point on the rack with a SS machine bolt and nut. A 1" strap would also be attached at this point and would continue on to the wall plate.
The question is should the 1" tinned copper strap be used throughout or a combination of cable and strap?
