Extra Protection* for the Buried Coax Cable can be obtained
by using Half-Inch (1/2") Black Polyethylene Drip Water Tubing
{Hose} as an added Layer of Protection for Buried Coax Cable
against damage from Plants, Tree Roots and Animals.
I have coax running through 1 1/2" PVC buried at 2 feet but
be advised that you must provide a means of draining condensation
or include desiccants or provide dry air flow to avoid water
in your cables. In my case, I periodically blow out the pipe
with compressed air and also have a 1 inch per foot grade to
encourage drainage to one end where the water can then be
extracted (blown out).

Belden makes a Direct Burial RG-8X, 7808 I think. Times Microwave also
has LMR-240DB. Good luck buying a couple hundred feet.

See #2247. It's what dxAce uses!
How long is your run?
