Thanks to all that responded.

I did consider heater like Ron suggested, but in my remote control configuration the DC power is going to be supplied only while the station is in use (12v bench supply is on).  Turning on the 12v supply to the tuner energizes a relay removing the antenna from ground and applying it to the balun, it turns on the tuner, and after 2 seconds it pulls the tune command line low for 1 second to initiate tuning.  When I turn off the bench supply, the tuner shuts off and the antenna relay grounds the antenna so the heater would also be off.

I could work around all of this by running a multi-cable out to the tuner for pwr/control vs running the DC on the coax as planned which I may end up having to do.... We'll See.

tnx agn for the suggestions/help.
