[TowerTalk] Burying RG-59/RG-6 Cables?

[K8RI on TT]

Check with DX Engineering.  They have a "Flooded" RG-6 meant for direct 
burial http://www.dxengineering.com/ and go to the coax cable on the 
left side of the page. They have it for 19 cents per foot of $149 per 
thousand foot spool.
Use compression fittings. They are far better than the crimp F type.

Other sources to try are Davis http://www.davisrf.com/rgcoax.php at 14 
cents per foot  up to 100', 100-500' at 11 cents and 6 cents per foot in 
1000' reels. (This is not flooded)
The Wireman http://www.thewireman.com/   RF Parts 
http://www.rfparts.com/coax.html
The RF Connection (didn't find RG-6)

I'm sure there are many more.
