I put my 3" conduits 18" below grade, to avoid critters running into them
above ground. Probably not a problem if your conduits will be as high as
your roof.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Routing Coax and Control Lines
My tower is located 17 feet from the shack entrance panel (from KF7P). I am
replacing all coax with Andrew Heliax. I have flexible Heliax jumpers to
run from the tower to the shack.
All lines are now running underground through 2.5 inch plastic electric
conduit. I am thinking of running everything from the tower through
elevated 3 inch plastic electric conduit mounted to the tower and shack
roof, with clearance for the mower to cut the lawn.
I would like feedback on the pros and cons of running cables elevated versus
underground. Thanks in advance.
