Doug-
When I recently buried 165' conduits for my new tower, I put in three runs
of 3" electrical PVC. One run for all the control cables, one for coax only
and one for future unforeseen uses. I pulled more runs of coax and control
cables than I thought I need now, "just in case". Probably overkill, but I
wanted to avoid having to pull out all the cables and re-pull them with a
new run if I were to need something more in the future. Even though I
pulled a new pull rope along with each conduit's cables, and put it on a
swivel so it wouldn't wrap around those cables during the pull, I have heard
it is very difficult to pull additional cables into a conduit that already
has cables in it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Coax and control lines in same PVC
Good afternoon,
I need to bring the following lines from the tower to the house...a distance
of about 35 feet. I plan to do this using Schedule 40 electrical PVC.
2 coax lines from SixPak switch (RF)
Rotor control
SixPak switch control
Stack Match control
2 to 1 remote coax relay control
What are the pros and cons of running all this through the same PVC?
Thanks and 73
