Default Burying Coax Feedlines & Control Cables

Mike, who else? wrote:
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?).

Well, if it were me and more than a few feet, I'd rent a trencher for
installing sprinklers systems and put it all in a PVC pipe with
downward facing elbows at each end stuffed with foam to keep bugs
and water out.

Mine has been out there for about 6 years and no water or bugs yet...
