If I can ever escape this HOA and get to a property that I can install a base antenna I'm going to run my coax through some cheap PVC pipe. More expense, but hopefully fewer surprises from tree rats.

Yet another reason why i recommend hardline. U
It is a neglige cost difference that pays enormous dividends far less loss, better connectors, squirrel proof. You could use 1/4 hardline if you wanted.
To put it in comparison, belden rg213 is 1.35 a foot, i bought ldf4-50a for a whooping 1.65 a foot ... Its a no brainer.
Rg213 loses 30% of its power on a 100ft run . 1/2" hard line loses something like 8%. It literally gives you back free watts.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but where does a person get hard line and connectors?
