Hmmmmm. Sumpin' wrong here. The soil in this part of west Tennessee is
highly acidic and there is no way you can bury aluminum CATV cable here
and have it last very long. The acid reacts very strongly with aluminum.
Think maybe the whole statement was reversed....? Is that possible?
Inquiring minds want to know.
