Default Direct Burial Of Coax Wire ?

See you everywhere Bob!

Generally speaking it wont last 10 years being buried on its own. Water
ingress is the killer. Unless you run a transmitter though you may not
even notice it for several years.

How long it lasts depends on many things like soil moisture, acidity and
even seismic activity!

I'll make some other comments on antennas in the other NG.

Cheers Bob
