[Boatanchors] coax

[Rod Hogg]

Well unless you 'nick' it putting it in or have rodents that like to chew on
it I would not worry much about it, just put it in PVC so you can pull it
out later, or add more, slope it a little so will drain, (add an all weather
binder twine pull string with it), moisture shouldn’t be problem as any
'good' coax is pretty much weather proof.  Sunlight has a greater
deterioration than moisture. Have installed -miles- of the stuff in
trenches, and below surface cable runs, all over for the power company.
Only problem was rabbits and squirrels.

I have a couple of antennas with which I use coax to the shack. The coax has
to cross my driveway and I want to run it through buried PVC. Is it best to
use lateral lines or at least drill several drain holes in the PVC to
prevent moisture buildup or is it better to try and keep the PVC dry? It
will run about 15'. I am using "bury type" coax.

Thanks. Rick/K5IAR
