That is my setup but I put large 4 inch plastic tubing in the trench
so that the innards could be easily removed, inspected and added to
without having to re dig the trench each time.
I left a heavy wire in place to make it easy to make changes over the
years. Because of the length underground and then the tower I used 7/8
heliax. I also placed a pipe into the tower concrete so I could place
the coax inside the tower if I wanted without the possibility of the
mower hitting it.
