[TowerTalk] coax in conduit

[Gene Smar]

TT:

     One product you might consider for a long conduit run on top of rocky
terrain is Liquitite.  This is the flexible plastic-covered armored conduit
that is used to run wiring between electrical junction boxes and cabinets.
I tried a Yahoo! search for it but found only distributors' pages, not a
spec page.
