Seems to me that burying coax directly in the ground would be a short
term deal.
As I see it, coax needs to be replaced every 5-7 years so if the coax is
inside
some other type of tubing (hose or whatever) replacement would be easy.
Simply
barrell connect the new to the old and pull.
Mother natures elements are very hard on whatever we place out in the
elements, so
constant upkeep and repair are needed to maintain best performance.
This goes for
towers, antennas as well as coax.
