Just a wild guess, but he's probably going to use the 12-2 for the motor
leads on the rotator.
OTOH, I've got an extra 12-2 with gnd in my low low voltage conduits
used as a *temporary* AC supply for soldering guns, etc. A plug on the
shack end, and a socket on the tower end. Normally not energized. Don't
really know the code implications on this, but don't really care.
Don't try this at home.

The "compelling reason" is that building codes prohibit running
power (12-2 w/gnd) and low voltage (coax, rotor cable) in the
same conduit. You need two conduits ...
I have a Rohn 25 up about 85' located about 200' from my garage
radio room. Is there some compelling reason why I shouldn't run
bury flex coax, rotor cable and outdoor 12-2 w gnd through a 2"
plastic pipe (already buried) between the tower and my shack?
