Special thanks to Paul, Bill and Merv for the telephone company wire observations. Looks like the telephone company solved this problem years ago.
If we could purchase Coax cable and other smaller wires with the HDPE covering, life could be easier. (Also less costly) The 1000 foot roll of telephone cable is worth considering, for now. 73 Bruce-K1FZ while clearing part of this 30 acres I ran across a long length of telco drop line that had been laying here since the 1980s, it was intact and in fine shape, no chew marks, (AWG) configurations which is "Bell System Type" spec #4283. It lists it as 30% copper CCS wire with a HDPE jacket. Tough stuff. I'm looking in my General Cable catalog and it shows the minimum length as 1,000 feet so it isn't unrealistic to order this stuff if you have a lot of runs to put in. it might be worth calling the local telco service yard to see if you can get their old scraps if you want to keep it cheap. _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
