You could always bury it in a protective tube. I've seen garden hose 
used. But that's just as big a hassle to install as hardline. Your worry 
will be jacket failure and water ingress.

The armored direct-burial aluminum stuff isn't too bad to work with. 
Especially in smaller diameters (.500 or less) that would be great for 
medium wave. Likely it's a lot cheaper than Andrew Heliax with a copper 
shield these days.
