Jim,
My trench is more like 6 inches deep. I have a 3 inch pipe with 3 Buryflex
9913 type cables and a control cable in it. I have a second smaller (2inch?)
corrugated pvc with a couple of cables in the same trench. It is not very
much below the surface. In 3 years I have not had a frost heaval problem in
a climate that is not too different from yours. If I had to redo it I would
do just what you did with the addiion of my suggestions. I believe the nylon
clothes line would pull the hardline OK. I know the poly rope would. By the
way some of my cables are no longer used since I went to remote antenna
switches. I always seem to "Get it" after I have done something.
