Topband: direct buried beverage coaxial

[Doug Renwick]

Funny I have been using cheap flooded copper clad steel RG6 running thousand
feet to my DX Eng/homebrew 160m four square system for years.  I don't
understand the need to use high cost RG6.

I seem to remember that someone mentioned the availability of an all copper
buriable RG6 type. I have an application that I want to do just once and
not have it start deteriorating right away. Cost does not matter. I've had
it permanently with cheep and do-overs. Does anyone actually make such or
is that just one of those wish-it-were-true pseudo memories?

Does anyone know the brand, product identification, and seller of an RG6
form 75 ohm cable that is PE jacketed, double copper foil shielded, solid
copper center center conductor and flooded. Teflon dielectric would be a
plus.

Any leads that will get me in that direction greatly appreciated.
