 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.
