Hi Tom,
Have you found this coax to be 'critter eat proof' or did you put it into
some type of pipe before burying?

Hi Jeff:
I've read that Davis Bury Flex is very good (low loss) coax. I have
Cable X-Perts RG-8 (50 feet of it) as my feedline right now. Is it
worth my time and $ making a change to Davis Bury Flex or something
similar?
Personal opinion follows... take it for what little it may be worth...
The Davis RF Bury-Flex is just about equivalent to Belden 9913 low-loss
coax, BUT it's better in the respect that it can be directly BURIED for
long periods of time with little degradation in the polyethylene outer
covering.
I use Bury-Flex exclusively between my Shack and the top of my tower, a
total of about 220' for each run.
This having been said, and for only a 50-foot run, used on HF, I'd by
lying if I said that you'd notice ANY substantive benefit from switching
from what you now have to Bury-Flex.
Good luck,
Tom Hammond N0SS
