Ron,
Even if RG-213 was able to be buried bare (which I believe is incorrect)  I
wouldn't put it underground or ANYWHERE else without running it thru
something!!!!  PVC Pipe is NOT  that expensive & neither is electrical
conduit.....or even the black Poly Pipe that is used for watering gardens is
VERY Inexpensive.....and RG-213 fits into it easily...  I don't like to
expose Coaxial cable to any of the elements......and..its over $1-20  a foot
here in VK........

be directly buried as is without running it through a conduit.  Any
comments.  Thanks.... Ron VE4 Super Rabbit
