Jeff:
If you decide to protect the cables, PVC conduit is cheap enough at home
improvement centers. I suggest you buy sufficient quantities of whatever
diameter you need to protect the cables and lay this stuff on the ground as a
barrier for your cables. You don't even need to glue the couplers together,
just friction fit the whole length. You might want to compare prices for one
large diameter conduit vs several smaller diameters and couplers.

It probably will not last. When I moved to this QTH, I laid rotator cables
and Heliax on the ground just for a contest. I tried the system a few days
later and my rotator would not turn. I found that some critter had chewed
though my new cables.

I'm going to have to string some coax out on the ground on a temporary basis
over the winter - and wondered if the neighborhood muts may consider that
coax
as a chew toy?
Any experience there?
