My case: I have a buried run of Cable Experts RG213/U Mil Spec, supposedly good for direct burial. It; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-06/msg00083.html (8,628 bytes)

Sulfide (fertilizers and atmospheric crap are *usually*green). Water varies depending on what's in it. Cut the jacket back until the braid is clean and shiny copper.

I have a vision of peeling the braid all the way back to the hamshack!

The antenna system for those is basically a loop of insulated #14 AWG wire shoved into a slit in the lawn cut with an edger.

We too have the invisible dog fence, and I have something like 100' of 14 or 16 gauge insulated household wiring as the buried loop.

I've taken to using black PVC water pipe. It's cheap and is almost as easily buried as coax.

I've had some old cheap coax that did the same thing. RG-213 with the non contaminating jacket was to keep the shield from decaying.
