Larry,
My tower is 100ft from the house and I run my cables underground in schedule
40 PVC.
The Black pipe is ok and cheaper, however it is vulnerable to shovels and
can callapse from heavy weight such as lawn tractors or vehicles across the
area. If it collapses then it is difficult to pull cable through it. Rigid
PVC is a little easier to pull cables through, especially if you have any
turns. If you use common white PVC be sure and get the gray electrical
elbows for turns where you come out of the ground. The electrical elbows
have a wider radius, making it easier to pull the cables through.
