Ken, I personally wouldnt consider running 120v  in close proximity to
my coax. For one thing, there is always the possibility of ac being
induced into a leaky coax. You do plan to run heliax, or something as
well shielded I hope? I assume the 120v is only going to a motor at
ground level and not up the tower. This sounds more like a commercial
job to me.You may get away with it without any problems at all, I wish
you well, but as an electrician of 35 years, I wouldnt do it. Good luck!

73, Tom W0HH
