Bill, sorry I have not been able to get to this for a couple of days. I
read your post below and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Anyway, I originally built this to lay electric fence underground for pet
containment but found it to be very useful for other ham radio endeavors. I
have successfully laid countless thousands of feet of wire with this tool.
Also, I have dug trenches for buried hardline and control cables with out a
hitch.
Probably overkill for you but it may inspire a couple of ideas.
