[TowerTalk] burying hardline

[Grant Saviers]

I understand the wisdom of not burying bare aluminum shield hardline.  
Is there a concern with the PVC covered versions?  Any difference with 
Heliax copper shield? (can't get Heliax wrong, I hope).

Are CATV companies still installing bare?  All I've seen in the past few 
years is covered.
