Years ago we were on a hot AM tower until the station removed the AM
Transmitter. I don't remember having to do anything special with our
cables coming down the tower, other than they were insulated from the
tower itself. In our case there was a large Coax running up to an FM
Antenna that was on insulated standoffs, we attached our cables to that,
and just followed the coax into the shack.
We did pay to have the tower checked for tuning before we hung our
equipment. Good thing, the tower was out of whack before we started, so
they couldn't blame it on us.

You thread the cable through the copper tubes that are part of the
load coil network.
The DC/AC choke circuits are made to power the tower light circuits.
Not sure who makes them. Have seen them at all the AM stations.

Explaining snaking?
Who makes a DC isolation unit?

Standard isolation unit. You can also snake the DC through their
feed inductor.

Let’s not get into the weeds of putting stuff on an AM Tower. If
I’m crazy enough to try it....
What’s the best way to isolate DC coming from the shed to the Tower?
Every thing else will be Tower mounted and bonded to the Tower.
