The Orange was probably Fiber Optic cable and the Black could be anything - though probably Poly Pipe which is water. As said before: Call before you dig - the authorities will come out and mark all

Its my belief that as a ham, whether you're digging a base for a tower, or driving ground rods, you need to go to city hall and get the surveying drawings for your house. Most houses have these as pa

Along the same lines: A friend installed a self-supporting tower in his back yard - concrete base went down 4 feet. A few years later, his power went out. Everyone else in the neighbourhood was fine.

This is an excellent example of "Your Mileage May Vary". It depends where you are, as far as how strictly they keep track of things. Here in FL, I've often heard people refer to "as-built plans"....

Drawings or not, as a ham, you should know where things cross your property and where the easements are before you dig. In most places, these call-before-you-dig services will come mark everything fo

I've told this story before, but, I'll do it again. FPL needs to change something with their underground HV lines. They "locate" the line at the designated point, and then do what they call "punching

Too true. a brief story. A few years ago we needed to put in a new well, and the backhoe operator digging the trench for the pipe and power to the well "found" the 220 feed to our garage about a foot

In all of the states you call: 811 This three digit dialing will connect you to the local one call centre. (I don't know about "Magic Jack" or "Skype") Cheers Peter VE6YC ____________________________
