[TowerTalk] Buried Conduit

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

The groves in the pipe are potentially a snag hazard.  
Making sure the leading edge of whatever you are 
pulling is bull-nosed or (rounded) would minimize the 
problem.

The black stuff definitely offers some advantages - single piece length is much longer, it's cheaper per foot and conforms to the surface that it's lying on better.
