be advised that you must provide a means of draining condensation

in your cables. In my case, I periodically blow out the pipe
with compressed air and also have a 1 inch per foot grade to
encourage drainage to one end where the water can then be
extracted (blown out).

Belden makes a Direct Burial RG-8X, 7808 I think. Times Microwave also
has LMR-240DB. Good luck buying a couple hundred feet.

RG-8X {50 Ohm} Coaxial Cable the Better Feed-in-lIne
for Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) Antennas ?

OK - This Is The "Stuff" That 'DX Ace' Uses ! ~ RHF

Universal-Radio P/N #2247 = RG-8X {Mini-8} Coaxial Cable
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/cable/2247.html
+ Black - Non-Contaminating - Flexible Jacket.
+ Stranded Copper Center Conductor [16 AWG - 19sx29g]
+ Foam Dielectric
+ Braid Bare Copper Outer Conductor 98% Coverage
+ OD : 0.242" {Mini as in Small OD less than a 1/4"}
-$- Price per Foot : 29¢ - That's a Low Price

NOTE - Universal-Radio P/N #2247 RG-8X appears to be
equivalent to Belden 9258 (RG-8X or Mini-8) Coax Cable.
http://www.wehaveparts.com/pages/belden/9258.pdf

Universal-Radio States : RG-8X is our most popular Coaxial
Cable. It is a favorite for Shortwave Receiving Antennas.

READY MADE CABLE ASSEMBLIES :
Universal-Radio P/N #0515 - Pre-Assembled RG-8X Coaxial Cable
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/cable/cable.html
100 Foot Length with PL-259 Plugs on both Ends Price : $29.95*
-Note- Considering the 29¢ per Foot Price you get the Two PL-259
Plugs Installed - Sounds like a Deal to me.
* This 100 Feet of RG-8X Coax Cable is a competitive Price
with 100 Feet of Quad-Shield RG-6 Coax Cable at WalMart
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=7811235
for $33 which is 33 Cents per Foot.
