Most cables are fine up to about 200' hanging from a kellum or hoisting 
grip if they are protected from the wind, as they would be in a PVC 
tube, cellular monopole, or held laterally by crankup tower standoffs.

But I certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of running PVC tube up a 
tower for UV protection.
