[TowerTalk] Dogs and coax - chew toy?

[Gene Smar]

Jeff:

If you decide to protect the cables, PVC conduit is cheap enough at home improvement centers. I suggest you buy sufficient quantities of whatever diameter you need to protect the cables and lay this stuff on the ground as a barrier for your cables. You don't even need to glue the couplers together, just friction fit the whole length. You might want to compare prices for one large diameter conduit vs several smaller diameters and couplers.

It probably will not last. When I moved to this QTH, I laid rotator cables 
and Heliax on the ground just for a contest. I tried the system a few days 
later and my rotator would not turn. I found that some critter had chewed 
though my new cables.

I'm going to have to string some coax out on the ground on a temporary basis
over the winter - and wondered if the neighborhood muts may consider that 
coax
as a chew toy?

Any experience there?
