Wejones... thanks for your quick response. I love this website because all your experts are so quick to share your experience.

I have read on other forums that any kind of solid copper core is better than copper clad steel with quad shield. see: Quad shielded or not? - CocoonTech.com - Home Automation , Home Theater , Home Security

As for my 3/4" conduit, I have run power to my shed with 1/2". I will put two lines of coax, one line of 18 ga. 5 wire (for the motor control), and a string for future pulls.

I plan to lay it all out and thread the wires through the overal 150 ft distance. Then I will glue the conduit piece together, after it is all laid out and wired. Then I will bury it 4" below the soil... I am not looking forward to this. The power wire was burried 18" below grade, because that is a code requirement for power (it might be 12"). I had to rent a Ditchwitch for that and it was still a lot of work and left a scar in the yard till middle summer.

Thanks again Mr. Jones.
