Topband: Outdoor cable trunking - opinions pse

[Herb Schoenbohm]

Recently St. Croix was wired across the 27 mile length with yellow 
tubular fiber conduit designed for direct burial.  When the huge truck 
mounted cable reels had tails of 20 and 30 feet left over I  picked them 
up and plan to use them under the lawn for my feedlines.  They are 2" ID 
so they should be able to take all the RG-6 I run to Beverages that the 
field rats like to chew into.  I have even though of trying to split 
them with a skill saw for an easier application but sort of gave up that 
idea and prefer to leave them whole.  Putting through a #14 solid THNN 
wire is no problem for a pull wire and cutting off the F-connectors that 
run to the torioid decoupling bank at the shack is not any big deal.
