Hello fellow Towertalkers,
Hopefully spring is around the corner and I can pick up work again on my tower
project. I plan to make two 150 ft runs of LDF5-50A from the house SPG to the
base of the tower. Trying to decide if I should run the hardline in 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.
A conduit run would have some low spots (potential for moisture accumulation
??). But I worry about critters (moles/voles/etc) chewing on the jacket if I
direct-bury.
Anyone have a bad experience from direct bury of Andrew hardline? Rodent
damage? Crushing damage due to lawn tractors, etc? Something else?
thx
Shawn
