I agree with Gene - AD3F.

Separate conduits are required with 50v + level.

Thanks N 73,

 Bill:
  
      NEC precludes conductors carrying AC over 50 volts from being run in conduits also carrying low-voltage (coax and rotator) cables.  FWIW.

 Hello,
 
 I have a Rohn 25 up about 85' located about 200' from my garage radio room. Is there some compelling reason why I shouldn't run bury flex coax, rotor cable and outdoor 12-2 w gnd through a 2" plastic pipe (already buried) between the tower and my shack?
