Hi Steve;
Thanks for the info. I will certainly keep it in mind. Its much easier to
do it right the first time.

Richard,
Look for coax called "direct bury", which means it can be put right in the
ground without conduit or pipe. More expensive, but nobody said it's a
cheap hobby. Although it's not buried, I use "Bury-Flex" by Davis RF. Low
loss, rugged, and direct buriable.
There are other remote tuners besides MFJ. I think some of the LDG tuners
are used in this fashion. Of course you will need to provide a
weather-proof enclosure. You will no doubt need one that can withstand 11
feet of snow on top of it.
