Mine is a medium-size station. I have two 230 ft runs of 7/8-in hard 
line laying on the ground, then running 120 ft up the tower. There's 
another run of cobbled-together coax, mostly 1/2-in, as well as control 
cable for rotator and SteppIR. Everything is laying on the ground. The 
ground they're laying on is my woods. :) In about five years, no issues. 
The CATV-type RG6 for my two Beverages is also laying on the ground, no 
issues in about 9 years.

K6XX has a much larger station up the road from me, and he does exactly 
the same thing. The longest of his runs are about 800 ft, including the 
run up the tower.
