I worked for a company that had service on four or five FM towers.  Once we
switched to shielded cable we had no issues.  Before then, everything would
go in and out of 10FDX.  We did find that shielded cable caused more issues
than unshielded if the ends were not done properly.  Without being
grounded, that shielding works like an antenna.  If I had it to do over
again, I would go with Chucks recommendation (although that is how we do
ALL of our sites now)...shielded 1 1/2" liquitite, with shielded cable
inside.
