[TowerTalk] sprinkler system control

[Tom_N2SR]

Hello all, 

Has anyone used sprinkler system control wire for buried runs out to a tower? 
I'm currently building my station/antenna system, and I was recently looking in 
the electrical department of my local home improvement store.  They have 
rolls of (I forget specifically) 8 cond #16 relatively cheap.  My thought is 
that
sprinkler system wire is designed to be buried, so why not?   

I'm not sure it would hold up to UV though.  

Thoughts?  Opine?
