Having heard of people having their feedlines "pinned" by vandals or 
vigilantes, I had thought that once I installed a tower I would run all 
the cables in conduit up to about the 10ft mark.

Now, however, I am thinking of a crank-up tower that folds over at the 
4ft. mark. I could run rigid conduit for the first 3ft, then have a 
section of flexible conduit for a couple feet (around the hinge), then 
several more feet of rigid conduit, but that would protect the cables 
only when the tower is extended. When the tower is cranked down, the 
cables would be hanging down within reach of anybody on the ground.

Anybody think of a solution?
