I would put a box at the base of the tower. You can get waterproof PVC electric boxes at Home Depot, Menard's, Lowes. Drill holes in the bottom of the box to pass the cables up into the box. Bond everything to the tower ground.

I'm in the planning stages to put up a 50 ft aluminum Universal Towers fold over tower.

I'm trying to line everything up for a March project date. Question-tower will be approx 100' from house. I plan on bury coax and rotor cables in PVC

Would it be wise to run cables down tower to a connection box at base for lightning arrestees and provide an easy way to replace coax from base to antennas if needed such as adding addl tower sections.

If so where can I find a waterproof connection box that will handle 3 RG213u, rotor cable, bus vat and arrestors?
