I have direct buried 1 5/8 hardline and it was underground for years with no
issues. Even if the outside plastic covering was damaged, I'm not sure that
moisture would cause a problem.

Is is OK to direct bury Andrew's 7/8" and/or CATV 75 ohm hardline?
I do have gophers in the area and don't know first, if hardline can be
direct buried, and second, if the gophers will chew on the outside covering
material. If they do, I don't think they can get through the outer copper or
aluminum shield, but it would open a path for water intrusion.
Tnx,
Ray, N6VR
