About as well as it flows up the center conductor, possibly. You
don't think that just because the cable is buried that RF flow on the
shield conductor is prevented, do you?

I sure can imagine one heck of a "capacitive load" on that outer
conductor to ground! What, thousands/tens-of-thousands of pf?

I was not aware of the depth, length, and other specifics of the
buried coax installation as I jumped into the thread a bit late. Sorry.
Here where I'm located we have nothing but sand, which doesn't really
provide much of a ground. I forget other people have real dirt! :^)
