This spring I plan to augment my station receive capabilities by installing a array of receive verticals (DXE 8 circle). I live in New England on a glacial moraine; the soil is very rocky and uneven

The cheapest protection would be Polyethylene sprinkler pipe. Better would be rigid pvc electrical conduit. Either will be much cheaper than liquid tight pvc conduit. The sprinkler pipe would probabl

I have some RG-6 coax inside some 1/2" PVC rigid conduit laying on the ground. It feeds my 160m inverted-L ~250' behind my house. But whenever a heavy tractor or truck drives over it, it breaks the c

Maybe I've just been lucky, but the long runs of plain vanilla Commscope coax laying on the ground in my woods from my Beverages are still fine after 7 years. The runs are about 250 ft each. Bobcat,

I'm not sure, however, about using it for long distances. I have to swap my 4 square over to 75 ohm cable, and I only have .750 bare aluminum cable. I was looking for something to sleeve over it, si

It must depend on your QTH. When I moved to North Carolina and put up a tower I ran the rotator cables and coax on the ground to the tower about 250' away to operate the Sweepstakes contest. This was

Thank you for sharing that, it looks like a low-cost solution in some situations. But I'm not sure whether that would hold up here. Once in awhile, the power company drives their heavy bucket trucks

You're right, the larger dia. PVC makes it worse sometimes. When it breaks in two, it actually puts more shear on the coax inside. I do have flooded F-6 running on the ground, along a fence feeding m

There is a formula that road builders use when burying culverts. I don't know what it is but the guy building and maintaining roads told me once. I thought it was dependent on the diameter of the tub
