Very important...How long is this run and how deep. Snow won't hurt, it's just a nuisance. IF the conduit maintains a grade all the way it won't fill up with water and freeze. This part I'm afraid to

Looks like a neat installation. A couple of things to try. Remove the grid from the far end. With some one on both ends, can you move that piece of coax, or any of the cables in the conduit. If you c
