As you mention, upsize the wire and operate in the dry. This assumes that you aren't at the ragged edge of too much wire loss now. Probably not but you could grab a meter and make sure.

I have had my switch located on the bottom section of theHDX-555 tower for many 
years in a weather proof enclosure. Same cable length as from the factory. I 
want tolocate it approximately 25 feet further away from the tower under a 
coveredporch to be able to raise and lower the tower out of the rain, wind, etc.
Hasanyone used a longer cable (I assume of the same or larger gauge) without 
anyproblems?


Thanks!
