[TowerTalk] A dumb question

[W3YY]

Also not sure what the technically correct answer is but I've used hundreds
of feet of minimally buried coax for years (about 2 inches) just so I could
mow over it.  No problems.  Lately I've gone to using RG-213 from DX
Engineering designed for direct burial or using heliax.  73, Bob - W3YY

I am not sure what the technically correct answer is but in Chicago I had
hundreds of feet of feedline buried 18" deep (about 1/2 the frost line
depth) and never had an issue.

After all this time I'm contemplating my first direct buried run of coax.
Hence this qwuestion - how deep is deep enough?  DoI need to get below the
frost line?
