[nrv-hams] protective covering for buried coax

[Russ Abbey]

Corrugated drainage pipe, $49.00 per 100 foot roll and it works like a
dream. While you will always get some water/condensation in something like
this, with the corrugations or bumps in the pipe, they keep the coax out of
the water pretty much.  I'd like to say I have had no problem, but I still
need to get it into the ground.  I have had it laying on the ground waiting
for this spring to get a trenching machine in here to bury it.  I have to
go about 167 feet to the tower from my shack so it's not economical to use
PVC, also try looking at conduit. The plastic conduit is made for this so
you should have no problems and there are a lot of fittings for it at Home
Depot or Lowe's.
