Nope.  Only experience I have had with coax is with home TV or FM radios
and the hill with 10 watt TV and FM radio translators.  My problems up
there ar pretty simple.  Cold weather, ice falling on the coax, or
animals.  The bears used to chew the s**t out of the stuff laying on the
ground.  About 15 years ago I had a fella bury 4" conduit and most of it
is in conduit, now.  Only animals that get to it are mice where it
emerges from the ground and goes up to the antennae.  i'm not any kind
of tech.  Only a cobbler.
