HVDC distribution systems over long distances are not that uncommon.

" Due to the space charge formed around the conductors, an HVDC system may
have about half the loss per unit length of a high voltage AC system
carrying the same amount of power. With monopolar transmission the choice of
polarity of the energized conductor leads to a degree of control over the
corona discharge. In particular, the polarity of the ions emitted can be
controlled, which may have an environmental impact on particulate
condensation. (particles of different polarities have a different mean-free
path.) Negative coronas generate considerably more ozone than positive
coronas,"

But what it works in your antennas.
