If it's buried directly in the ground or in a conduit, it'll get just as
wet. If you don't want to buy direct burial coax, run it in a conduit to
make it easy to replace if it goes bad

Hello:

Can anyone offer an opinion on how well a good quality name brand coax
(going from house to a simple receive-only shortwave antenna in backyard)
will "typically" last if buried ?

Not the coax types called "buriable", just the regular stuff.

Will probably run in a pvc conduit, but was wondering about if I didn't.

Anybody have any experience with just burying the typical PVC covered coax
stuff about 6 inches or so deep ?
Think it'll last 10 years ?

Thanks,
Bob
