Bruce,
The National Electrical Code requires all conductors within a common raceway
to have the same voltage rating.
However I agree with Tom and use an extension cord, with No. 12 or 10
conductors. You can normally go 100 feet with No. 12 conductors and running
around 12 amperes before voltage drop is a concern.

Subject: [TowerTalk] AC power
I am thinking of running 110 AC power out to at least one of my towers (140
feet from house) so that I have power if I need it out there. Is there any
problem with burying the AC cable in the same trench as the coax and control
cables?
