Re: [IRCA] BOG made to a BUG

["Chris Black" <n1cp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bury my inexpensive RG-58 receiving coax from my flags in cheap PVC, which 
is much cheaper than the expensive coax which you can bury directly. Of 
course, 150 sections of pvc would still run something approaching $300, but 
it would make a great permanent BUG.
