[TowerTalk] Burried LMR400 (flex) experience

[alsopb]

A data point for those who consider running coax underground

I recently found the LMR400 (flex) coax I burried a number of years ago
to run to my 160M inverted L.  I should say the rototiller found it
(along with some radials).  The shield, braid, dielectric and center
conductor look pristine.  Frankly, I was suprised.  

The ground here is acid, clay with some moles.

Only improvement I can suggest is to bury it deeper than 6".
