[TowerTalk] burying cable

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

I had a water line freeze at 6 feet last winter.... My coax is down 18
inches (inside PVC) and has worked well for years.

As I sweat through digging (with a trencher and by hand) trenches putting
Commscope AVA7-50 hardline (eBay deal) and control lines from the shack to
a couple of towers here I mused on whether or not frost line has an
application to burying coax cable and low voltage control lines.

I get why one buries water pipes below the frost line as well as house
foundations, by why radio cables? Is frost heave an issue for cables if one
has some slack on either line of the line?
