I had a three 100 ft sections with N connectors, purchased cheap at a Ham fea-market.
IIRC you can find 100 ft sections (w/ PL-259 connectors) on Ebay for 20 to 30 bucks.
Much cheaper without connectors.
I wanted to use this type of direct burial cable for my testing, but other cable could be used.
I've actually used regular 120Vac extension cords for short tests.
They are easy to use, and the connectors are pretty cheap.
'N' connectors are very water resistant, which helps on the outdoor side.
