[TowerTalk] underground cable run to tower

I am running LMR-900 coax and the necessary rotator cabling underground approx. 120' to my tower in 2" plastic electric conduit.  I am thinking about mounting a rotatable camera on my 80' tower and an electric outlet on the tower base.  Is it a bad idea to add  a run of romex with my coax and rotator cable in the same plastic conduit?  The tower crew I hired sugested I do it but I am concerned about electrical interference with my coax.  I could feed the outlet and camera from a different location with a much shorter run of 50' but it would mean another trench.

Sincerely, Bob KL1DS
