Hi Lynn,
I have no buried cable splices in my ham station. The only splices
I once had failed years ago:
- The buried AC power feed from the street was fabricated from two
spliced cables. The neutral wire splice failed causing a near-catastrophe
in my home
- the buried 240 volt AC power feed to a shed 200 meters from my
home is fed by two spliced cables. One of the splices failed, now
I have only 120 volts in the shed...
Now if I need to splice a buried cable I bring it to the surface and splice
it above ground where it can be repaired.
Cold shrink tubing is widely available on eBay, usually about ten dollars each

Great video, Frank. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea cold shrink could
potentially perform that well.
Is that what you're using on buried cables?
