Since he mentioned 12-2 separately from flex coax, rotor cable I would
assume that this is not for the motor leads. I have run A/C in the same
conduit as the low voltage rotator wires and never had an issue however
after reading towertalk I no longer do this.

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.

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?
