I think the loss for 100ft is about .6 or .7 db at 50 Mc. with RG-17A. I
have some RG-17/A and 117 that is good as well as 141, neat wire but not
common.  If you want to run it under ground but not 'direct' burial try
picking up some 'interduct' like they use for fiber optic cable, kinda a
ribbed and flexy PVC.
