I would not do this. The conduit will cause unnecessary wind loading on the
tower. Just be sure you get quality cables and you should not experience
any problems. I WOULD (and do, underground) run a conduit from the shack to
the tower base.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Run conduit up the tower?
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.?
