Good morning,
Just finished digging the trench for a feedline and control line conduit from
the house to the tower. The trench is about 12 inches deep, 10 inches wide, and
90 feet long.
I was planning to put about 1.5 inches of pea stone on the bottom of the
trench, and lay in side-by-side two 3-inch septic-type schedule 40 PVC pipes
with holes down for drainage. The ends will come out of the ground slowly at a
very slight angle - 30 degrees, I guess.
What about the fish line? What kind of line should be left inside permanently
for pulling new cables?
Any comments on the overall plan? Is one 4-inch or bigger pipe a better or
worse idea? I was thinking that separate pipes reduces the potential for
tangling inside as the number of cables changes over time.
This is my first time doing this part of the job. All suggestions welcome.
73,
Jim K1IR
