I always put mine in 4" French drain pipe with the holes down and surround
it with 2B driveway stone.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Hardline - Direct Bury or Conduit ?
I'm interested as well. I need to run a runs of LDF5-50a myself for the
high bands and some lmr-600 for the low bands.
In addition I need to run rotor control/switch control cables.

conduit or just direct-bury. Soil around here is clay mixed with some sand.
Rare to find a rock, and if I do it's small stream gravel with smooth
edges.. Part of the run is through a wooded area.
