What do they do when the STL fails? Do they have a way to get some
generic stuff playing while it's fixed?

The public internet yes, but if you have pretty good control over
the route then it should not be a problem. Many times the
traffic is like a two hop distance. If your upstream provider
peers with the station provider I can’t see a big problem. Or
better yet, your upstream provider serves the station studio or
whatever the other end is...

I won’t claim to be an expert by any means on STL links. I’ve
engineered backhaul links for broadcast guys though so I know a
bit about the requirements.
IMHO it’s a bad idea to put STL traffic on the internet. Packet
loss, jitter, latency are all very important metrics. Capacity
is low… maybe 2Mbps tops for HD audio (I guess it could be more
depending on how many stations are transmitting from that
antenna). Give them a dedicated link.
Telos/Axia and Whetstone are the two encoder manufacturers I’ve
run across.
Jeff Holdenrid at DoubleRadius would be a great contact if you’re
looking for ways to make the STL work.
Thank you,

If someone has any info on the STL links. Send me a message off
list.
I wanna know everything possible about it

You could be OK. Definitely not a "will be" especially

Also keep in mind you're supposed to lower the power when
climbing on the tower.

We're on a very similar site. We're running 100Mb

surge suppressors on the tower near the radios
did give us errors, so we had to take them out...
and pray.

Stay away from the driven elements as
far as you can.
Some use ferrite cores on the cable
too. Can’t hurt.
