[TowerTalk] 300' of line - - wondering about hardline, 9913, CATV RG6 or RG11

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

When I live NW of Farwell MI, my coax runs were over 350 feet to the top 
of the tower.
I had a new, 1000 ft reel of 3/4", 75 ohm hard line minus the outer 
layer (free).  the soil was sand with a few small, smooth stones. I 
buried it direct and had no problems.  Do that here and I doubt the 
jacket would last 6 months. Connectors and adapters were cheap and easy 
to make.
I didn't like the 1/2" as I found it was too fragile and easy to kink.
