Remoting radios is nothing new and quite do-able. Signal line loss
problems depend on the design of the remoting. ie if line drivers are
used, not a problem. If high Z TTL lines then you might have a problem.
Power supply will be a problem. It may be smart to also remote a large
battery for current peaks. Easy to work out...

You may wish to address other issues though like lightning strikes and
weather ingress..

I use to remote a linear amp and preamp with a remote NiCd pack of D
cells. Worked well. RFO was about 70W on 144MHz.

Open wire feeder may also be an option to you.. The line loss would be
lower. You could also make some out of small dia copper pipe and spacers
you size/drill yourself.
