[TowerTalk] irrigation tube as conduit

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

First, if the wire is carrying 120 volts, forget about
this and use real conduit.

Getting a wire through 100 meters of plastic irrigation tubing
is quite difficult.  Success at shorter distances was reported
on this reflector using the technique of applying tension
to the plastic tubing to force it not to kink.  You may also need 
conduit pulling lubricant.

I have a question about what you ran through the tubing to then pull your wires through.  And - is there any trick to unrolling the tubing so it does not develop any kinks?  Thanks for any help you can provide!
