I use old well pump black PVC pipe, which is FREE at your local plumbing supply 
(sometimes) or get in touch with your local well drilling/pump repair folks.
When a well pump goes bad, the wires and pipe are replaced. The pipe is usually 
cut up into 4 or 5 ft sections for disposal, but if you can get it in one piece,
it can be several hundred feet long. Here in NH, it’s usually 1.5” pipe,plenty 
enough room for two coaxes and a control cable. Mine goes from the property 
edge, 
underground and through a hole in concrete basement wall. Two 1/2” coaxes and a 
control line for an auto tuner at the base of an inverted L pass through this
installation.

Shop vac with masons twine and a plastic grocery store bag gets a pull line 
through. Then the heavier antenna rope is used to pull the three cables through.
