If you are just going to use it for receiving, it won't matter if the
jacket rots and the shield braid corrodes. You mainly need an
insulated wire. I would give it even 20 or 30 years as long as you
don't drive over it.

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
