Hello BVARC Folks, I need some help please. What would produce a better SWR; to run the cable from my shack  to my antenna by running the cable up and over my roof or to bury the cable in the ground? 
In both scenarios; the antenna is a Vertical Dipole sitting on the ground, the cable would be connected to a Lightening Arrestor with 8' Grounding Rod located where the cable enters my house, cable would be 60' long, and RG8 Cable.
Have watched a couple "Ask Dave"  (Dave Casler) videos on this and look on line, but no mention on the if better or worse SWR. 
Thank youPhil (KI5WIC)
