Kirk, RG213 /U - the real mil spec stuff, was not designed for direct
burial, ever, in spite of a variety of claims and even a few erroneous
statements in some "authoritative" sources.
Burial in a tube of pipe is OK, if properly done, and is more practical
as well, as it allows for later additions and replacements.
The subject was covered in a column in Amateur Radio Trader a few issues
ago, and I'll copy and paste it in a separate E to you - hope it helps.
It is too long to put on the reflector, but if anyone wants a copy, just
say the word and I'll send it along direct.
Don't hesitate to holler if we can be of help.
