[Heathkit] How do I lay coaxial cable underground?

Use PVC, but go big in case (when) you change your mind. MOST of the 
work/cost is digging the trench so spend the extra money and put 2-3" 
PVC at least.  At the low part of the run install a TEE with a bucket of 
gravel installed below it to provide drainage. You'll never keep 
moisture out of it completely so best to plan on draining it off.

I have about 100' installed in this way. No probs in 15 yrs (in NC)
