Default Wire antenna feed-line questions

I am in a situation where I HAVE to bury the feedline, there is no other
way around it. I have trees about 20 feet away from my home in the back,
great for swinging a long wire, dipole, whatever works but being that the
actual space between the trees and my home is a common area, I have to
bury the coax.

Placing a remote tuner on the other side would be a bit of a hassle but I
see its starting to look like the only way to go?
I got plenty of time, I just want to do this once and the right way.


It looks like you will have to use either a remote tuner, or something you
can feed with coax. Maybe a trap type of dipole.
While I have no idea how they would work, you may want to check out some
from DXS Engineering.

For some of the low bands I use a homade OCF antenna patterned after the
Carolina Windom. But I also have other antennas up for some of the bands.
