[TowerTalk] Ladder line entrance

As I will move my shack from being rather "primitive" to be more lightning proof I need to figure out how to enter my ladder line from my Windom antenna.


My access panel has multiple coax entries and I wonder now if I can use two (2) coax cables to enter the ladder line. 


Previously the ladder line "just" went through the wall with two wall feed-throughs and I always disconnected the wires from my tuner and connected them to a radiator in my old shack.


I am not willing to drill holes in my new shack (if I can avoid it) but instead utilize two (75 ohms) coax cables, one for each pole on the ladder line and put my tuner at the other end. An other solution woud be to move the tuner outside the shack but that require a remote.


Anyone with experience?
