Re: [IRCA] EWE Coax run

For some reason, groundhogs are attracted to the "smurf pipe" conduit that's
sometimes used. There's something in it that makes them want to gnaw away.

Lynn,

You mean by professionals?  I had my yard tore up several times in the past
few years on burying sewer pipe, water pipe, etc. Apparently each utility
has a certain depth and an area they run. One reason I keep my coax fairly
close to the top of the ground, is I don't want to hit any electric, gas,
etc lines. It is much easier to place something a few inches down than a
foot or two also. When I intalled my big dish in 1985, I did bury the ribbon
cable a good foot down as I was told it was code. For my own antennas, I
don't care about code. hi. Plus if I have to pull up the cable for anything
it is easier. We do have moles around here, but so far none have bothered
any of my cables. But LA rules may be different. 

73,

Patrick
