I'll stick with my original suggestion - paint it black with some Krylon. Since it's your tower, you only have to answer to your wife and the municipal inspector. If the paint starts to deteriorate, you could always have a feedline replacement fund started so that if you need to do something in five or ten years, you'll have the funds to change it out.

OK, I should have been more specific. This is going on my tower. It is a 140 foot length of Andrew 1 1/4" hardline. I have been very careful in the components used to avoid any "problems". The tower is Pirod as is all of the hardware. Lightning rod, "T" bars for the snap in hangers, etc. All grounding is #2 stranded with 3 ground rods per leg all tied together. All cables grounded. Polyphasers on all lines. Single point ground for the entire station. Just trying to save a few bucks on the transmission lines.

Thanks for all the tips,

Bob
