Yes. The conductors that need the beef are those that run the motor (as 
opposed to those that connect to a pot that senses position). I also 
have a long run, and used Romex from the shack to the bottom of the 
tower, then a nice #18 going up the tower. It's been there ten years 
with no issues, but doesn't get much direct sunlight.
