[TowerTalk] coax in conduit

[Dubovsky, George]

Lovely stuff, but quite spendy; you could easily spend more on the
Liquitite than the cables inside ;(

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.
