Using sweep tubes for mobile RF power is something I compare to using a 1905 steam tractor to mow your lawn. Sure, you could. But more cost-effective solutions have emerged the last 100 or so years.

The risk of tube damage if you hit a chuckhole while you're keyed up leads to a low "KBK" rating. As in Keys Between Kabooms.

Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live skit with the old guy that claimed he walked barefoot 5 miles to school in the snow uphill both ways.
