 The designation ''AU"at the end of the coax number used to signify a 
covering with a "non-migrating softening or plasticizing agent" to the center 
dielectric that was claimed good for 15 years or more buried.  If I could get 
some cheap shrink on tubing I'd still cover the entire coax outside.  Water 
can still get in the pipe but its cheap.  I do that at the beam for about 
10'.  k7gco
