[sdiy] 3-conductor + shield cable recommendo

[Jason Proctor]

it really does look like i'm stuck with lashing together 2x 2+shield.

i can get 2-pair multi-shielded gepflex by the foot* from fullcompass 
etc, but it does seem a little overkill. it's designed for permanent 
underground never-touch runs, etc.

*the USA will go metric shortly after they invent the 10-string 
banjo, or Burma/Myanmar converts, whichever happens first.
