Terrific Jim!  Can you also use the new pipe for a ground?

Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

The construction crew ran a water pipe under my road today so I can hook up
to county water.  Since the main water main was on the other side of the
road they used a air-pressured "torpedo" to push through a horizontal hole
for the copper tube to go through, about six feet down.  All it took was a
case of beer and they kindly tied a coax to the tube, so now I have the
ability to run a longwire on the other side of the road where there is
endless farm acreage. They even hid it just at the edge of the tree line so
the actual farm owner won't see it or be vulnerable to town lawn mowing. I
think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I was glad to be home today
to make this happen.
