you can get partial credit on #Cat5 ?

I hope this is the right place to ask, but there is this TV/Radio antennae plug in our Den - Unfortunately it looks like someone cut the line where it comes out of the house near the old TV antennae mast. Any suggestions on fixing/leveraging this for DTV and/or FM antennae for my component stereo setup that I am planning to put back up? The lower plug on that faceplate is so dam weird..

It appears to be ladderline wiring inside - do I reconnect and use for a FM or Ham radio, or do I use it to pull through some COAX & CAT6 to connect the DTV & FM antennae? 🤔

EDIT: I pulled the faceplate and plug off, and it is ladder line inside. The plug is a Wineguard model T32-U which only had the TV/FM connected the lower UHF plug was disconnected - and neither had the ground connected.

That moment when you realize a quick fix to a malfunctioning cat5 outlet becomes cutting into drywall and running a new line. Starting to wonder if something chewed through the cable #networking #cat5

We all know the curse of the charge only USB cable, but I've just found this monster in a box of cables...

@LevelUp wow, this is their first #cat5? That's incredible.horrible, but amazingly lucky to this point.

Looks like the eye of the Hurricane is following a roughly SSW to NNE path through the western 1/3rd of the country along the west side of the central plateau. There won't be much opportunity for impediment that would drastically weaken the storm. It is also moving very slowly. Seems to be about 20kph.

Truly a worst case.

Eyewall Hitting Jamaica

The Category 5 eyewall of Hurricane Melissa is moving into Jamaica. A 50 mile-wide swath of tornado-like wind speeds is expected, lasting 3+ hours. A catastrophe is underway. Our thoughts are with our friends and neighbors in Jamaica.

This is where the eye of the hurricane is hitting right now. Saint Elizabeth/Black River Jamaica (2019). They are actually in the eye. It is probably calm but covered in water God I wonder what it looks like.
