[Boatanchors] Burying Coax

[Keith Densmore]

Thanks to all you great guys with the information on the ditch witch. Sounds 
like that will do it. Glad there is a machine for that, hi.

But a couple of you mentioned that burying coax will not lower noise pickup. 
Which has caused me to put this plan on hold. I need to know more.

I 'thought' coax to be a good insulator of noise but not perfect. My belief 
is or was that the outer shield forms a capacitor with the inner conductor 
and therefore a noise signal on the outer braid will to some extent 
capacitivily couple itself into the center conductor. In my case the antenna 
is in a low noise location but the coax runs through a noisier area. I 
listen to 40 meters down to VLF, VLF being very prone to AC line noises.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks, 73,
Keith
