I have a 64 foot Trylon Titan Tower at 64 feet (with a 3 element Steppir) and it's 30 metres from my home. I intend on burying the feedlines (X2 1/2" heliax and x2 RG213 coax) plus rotators cable and Steppir cable. I was going to dig a 4" wide by 6" deep trench then just bury them. Yeah, that's alot of work with a shovel. Any better suggestions? This is my Labour Day weekend job (get the pun?). 73 de Mike VE6HMG That is my setup but I put large 4 inch plastic tubing in the trench so that the innards could be easily removed, inspected and added to without having to re dig the trench each time. I left a heavy wire in place to make it easy to make changes over the years. Because of the length underground and then the tower I used 7/8 heliax. I also placed a pipe into the tower concrete so I could place the coax inside the tower if I wanted without the possibility of the mower hitting it. |
