<<Is it a good idea to run, say, 3" PVC conduit up the tower to
accommodate feedlines and rotor cable and protect them from birds,
squirrels, etc.?>>
Everything you hang on the tower cuts into the windloading capabilities. Most
of the literature I've read on Ham Radio style towers load calculation specify
1, 1/2 inch feed line per face. Any more than that and you start cutting down
on the load the tower can hold up.
