[TowerTalk] Split Loom as an anti-critter device?

Why not tun it into some pvc conduit and then bury it in the spring.  You'll protect the cable from critters and make it easy to replacr the cable when you bury it.Chuck Gooden - K9LC

Subject: [TowerTalk] Split Loom as an anti-critter device? 

New to the Northeast, and all the critters that eat...well, everything when it gets cold enough.I am planning on running a length of FSJ-4 (1/2" Andrews superflex) from the house to the end of the back yard.  In the spring I will bury it, but until then it needs to sit on top of the lawn.  I worry about something eating through it--although it's pretty hefty for something to chew on, it wouldn't surprise me.I was thinking I'd put the cable in say a 1" or 1-1/2" split cable loom, just as an extra cover to fend off teeth.  Dumb? Unnecessary?  What does the Collective Wisdom say?TIA,-- Scott NX7U______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
