[TowerTalk] Buring Bury-Flex

[n0tt1 at juno.com]

Larry,
 
If you rig the tubing so it can "breathe" from BOTH ends, the
water (from ordinary condensate) won't accumulate.  Obviously,
you'll want to keep out direct rain water.
 
Don't bring one end into the shack or other enclosure
because you'll get a mold smell from the pipe.  The pipe 
MUST have good air circulation end-to-end.  It must have insect proof
and WX proof end terminations....Easy to do with the right
hardware.

All that from my experience here in NW Missouri.
 
73,
Charlie, N0TT
