Hello,
I'm using an RG-6 (F660BVF) gel filled cable to connect the shack and remote
beverage switch. This cable can be directly buried in the ground (no need to
use a pipe or slive) and remains as good as new for many years. Several times
this cable was broken by metal seekers with shovels. The cable can be easily
repaired with F connectors and raw rubber. Now 155 meters (520 feet) of cable
underground, this line, after seven or eight years in the ground, has a loss of
about 2 dB at 160 m and 3.5 dB at 80 m. This is not essential if you use an LNA
amplifier beverages site. The price of this cable here in Ukraine is $76 per
1000 feet.

Jeff,
I have been using Satellite TV RG6 for years with my different RX antenna
schemes. It has a solid copper center conductor and is swept to 3 GHz not that
it matters for low band reception.
I also have been using compression connectors which are far better than the
crimps I used well over 40 years ago.
