Hi,

Have to run about 40 feet or so of coax wire to a receiving antenna in my
backyard.

Don't bury it 6 inches deep because two years from now you will have to
do it all over again. The cable guys don't care how long it lasts
because they get paid to fix it. A Ditchwich is what you need. Rent one
and cut a trench at least a foot deep (or hire some local yokels to do
it for $80). Put in a 1" PVC conduit with a pull string. Run two RG6
coax and a couple of CAT-6 lines.

To a receiving antenna? Why the overkill?

Someday you may want to put in a (ethernet) camera to watch people
trying to steal your antenna.

Or maybe just an extra pull string, for later additions.
