[Boatanchors] Burying Coax

[Sheldon Daitch]

I can't imagine good coaxial line is going to have any
difference in noise pickup buried or unburied, but I 
could be wrong.  It is Thursday and this could be 
my first wrong of the day.

I might suggest if you are going to go the expense
and trouble of burying a coaxial line, if you ever think
you might replace the line, to also bury plastic water 
pipe and run the coaxial line inside the pipe.  At least
this way, you would be able to pull the coaxial line
out rather than dig it all up again.

Just a thought,
