[TowerTalk] Hauling hardline into a 4 inch cable duct

I have direct buried hundreds of feet of Heliax. Telephone wires and cable
TV coax are direct buried. Running 6" Schedule 40 PVC would be very costly
and it is a lot of extra work to pull Heliax though the pipe.

Excellent question.  I wish I had an answer.  I am planning to run 1 piece
of LFD4-50A and three pieces of LDF5-50A to the shack.  I have heard it can
be buried, but would prefer conduit.  I am now thinking 6 inch for the 30
foot run from the tower, to allow for additional cables in the future.
