After all this time I'm contemplating my first direct buried run of coax.  Hence this qwuestion - how deep is deep enough?  DoI need to get below the frost line? -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Revers

I am not sure what the technically correct answer is but in Chicago I had hundreds of feet of feedline buried 18" deep (about 1/2 the frost line depth) and never had an issue. John KK9A To: TowerTalk

Also not sure what the technically correct answer is but I've used hundreds of feet of minimally buried coax for years (about 2 inches) just so I could mow over it. No problems. Lately I've gone to u

I'm going to be laying my coax soon to my tower in NC. I plan to NOT put it in PVC conduit once it goes below ground. I've read that condensate in pipe will eventually cause it to fill with water and

A question was asked about how deep to bury a coax run. It was then brought up about electrical codes and depth of 18". If I remember, those ONLY apply to circuits carrying 110/220 household voltages

Hi Pete, It depends on many things depending on your situation: 1) What are you attempting to protect your cable from? Lawn mowers? Lightning? Someone digging into them? etc. 2) Type of cable and typ
