Hello netlanders
I am about to put up a new cushcraft 144mhz antenna.  It will be
mounted on a mast some 80 feet from my shack.  I have purchased 
a suitable length of low loss Belden 9913 coaxial cable to
connect it to my shack, and was wondering if there would be 
any problem if I ran the cable underground, as opposed to
stringing it overhead?  Will this affect the loss rating of the

cable?  Which way should I go here?
Thanks,
Russ Crisp
