Hi,

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

Wish to bury it, probably not more than a foot to two feet deep should do it.

Other than using a square tipped shovel (or forcing my kid to do it), was wondering
if anyone has any "clever" ideas
on other possible ways of digging this very narrow (slit type) of trench ?

Getting on inyears now, and it sounds like a lot of work.
Is there some tool other than the shovel that I might rent, or... ?

Thanks,
B.


Why so deep? Just under the turf is usually adequate for coax installations.

You can rent a machine made specifically for the purpose.

machines, and they are not as big and destructive as using a "ditch-witch". They are
also much cheaper to rent.
