Hi people,

Just a followup on my post from a couple weeks back.

When I went back to Home Depot, I discovered that
the _thinwall_ PVC white perforated drain pipe was
actually a bit less $$ than I had thought - and a lot
lighter and easier to work with (in 10' sections!).

So that's what I bought for my feedline conduit - 
4" PVC perforated drain pipe, which cost me around $5
per 10' section. And it has 'bell' ends to boot; no extra
couplers needed between sections.

I finished off the house end with a few 45-degree bends,
etc. and put a cap on both ends. This was laid in a trench
approx. 8" deep with a little gravel underneath. I will
put some pictures on my web site as soon as I
develop them (gotta get a digital camera...)

73 & thanks for the help!
Len K1NU
