When I ran a Prop Pitch on my 40/10 meter tower 122' and 200' from the shack
I use #10 UF 2 conductor + ground.... junction @ the shack outside wall BOX
straight to the terminial
strip epoxied on the bottom of the PP's mounting plate.
For direction/control I used 4X16 ga found at a local scrap yard.
