[TowerTalk] Feedline Conduit Insights please

[Ken Bauer]

It’s about 300’ uphill from the shack to the proposed tower base (for HF). At my house, critters both above ground (rats, squirrels, skunks) and below (gophers) chew on sprinkler lines and cable. Plus a careless gardener disinclines me to direct burial. I am considering 3” electrical sched 40 PVC with a junction box at the low point with a water drain. Have already run such from shack room to a point 20’ from the house.

I plan to run two hardlines to a 2 x 8 remote coax switch. i would appreciate any commentary re conduit setup (e.g. pull loops desirable? distance between Christy boxes? etc.), hardline recommendations, etc.

Thanks,
