Well, "John Doty" in the reference above says:
Any *unshielded* [my emphasis added] conductor in your antenna/ground system is capable
of picking up noise: the antenna, the "lead-in" wire...
First of all, isn't the "lead-in wire" (coaxial cable in this
discussion) -shielded- ? So according to his -own- statement, coax
shouldn't have to be buried, at least from a noise mitigation viewpoint.
