I didn't find this subject in the FAQs.  Let's say I go for something
like LMR-500 or even 600 for feedline  and UF-B for rotor control.  How
deep would they need to be buried, if bare (not in PVC)?  I'm told the
frost line around here could be 30 inches, but I can't believe buryable
cables have to go that deep.

(I've already trenched about a foot deep, and am looking for some
reassurance I don't need to go out there and work it deeper before I
take the trencher back!)  Tnx!
