The designation ''AU"at the end of the coax number used to signify a
covering with a "non-migrating softening or plasticizing agent" to the center
dielectric that was claimed good for 15 years or more buried. If I could get
some cheap shrink on tubing I'd still cover the entire coax outside. Water
can still get in the pipe but its cheap. I do that at the beam for about
10'. k7gco
