it to determine the

We've had for many years access to a non-live AM radio tower (by non-live, the
antennas are mounted on the sides of the tower, insulated, look like long steel
cables). For a long time we ran AC to the top, into a small choke/transformer
(some little gizmo) that filtered the AM radio signal,
Does anyone know of a single outlet or otherwise small Ethernet based remote
reboot and power metering device? I don't want to spend $700 on a regular rack
mounted one because I would never make my money back. Ideas?

The points you make seem to drive home the point that some leasing
companies and other consultants try to make. Keep your cash on hand for
operational expenses and use leasing to purchase the equipment. This
preserves your capital even though it may cost more in interest. Using that
Doug,
The only way to tell if using shielded cable would work is to try it.
Every high-power (radio tower) situation is unique. Most tower problems
occur on high-power FM towers where the FM frequency is close to the
Ethernet frequency but problems can easily exist on AM towers too
depending
Another way of looking at it is that if deflation is occurring, and you
have committed to pay for the CPE via leasing, you will be using future
dollars that are worth more to pay for them, (e.g. at the time I commit
to paying $100 for a cpe, each of those $100 would purchase a loaf of
bread, but
Just as an example of this. Southwest airlines (one of the few airlines still

planes (5 more soon to be sold) for 175millions. But they keep the planes on a
12 year lease. In 12 years those plans will be close to
Don't expect to see that price of the cpes will drop by 50%. At $60-$100 there
isn't much left to go lower. Especially considering shipping a cpe with
integrated antenna $5 to $10 from manufacturing plans in asia.
As well some semiconductor parts are currently going up instead of down as

Doug,
We have POE running on an identical AM tower (fairly low wattage)
configuration. We did used shielded cable and I believe we are grounding
the shield to the tower every 20-40' (can't remember). The shield does pick
up the AM transmission and we also used ferrite beads at the bottom. Like

One thing you might try is making an RF choke at the tower base coiling
up the CAT5 and possibly even using a ferrite on it as well.

In the case of grounding every 20-40 feet, what are you doing to achieve
this without breaking down the water resistant jacket on the cable? Using
an inline RJ45 POE surge protector? A ground tap clamp?
Also, in the case of Nanostations, the ground is done via the metal RJ45 STP
connectors
Does it have to be ethernet based? We use the NH100 from Nighthawk - works
as a pager. Very smart reboot commands, though some may call it excessive.

Use heavy duty direct burial cable and some 400 size coax grounding strap.
Then just peel of the outer plastic to the aluminum shield. A db cable should
have another plastic protection under the shield.

Are you sure it is non-live? Normally AM antennas are the whole tower. Is
it sitting on an insulator at the base? Do you know the power of the
transmitter? 160 feet sure fits the mold of a quarter wavelength vertical.
Like 1460 kHz. If it is shunt fed, then you will have a tap up about a

Mesa was on a very similar tower, except it was 200ft. I don't recall how
far up the cable went... but I know it wasn't running the whole length of
the tower.
There was one long steel cable running up the tower, the tower itself was

Nighthawk sounds right as the name that was at WISPCON.
Well, no, it shouldn't be, but if it locks up for some reason, immediate
power cycling is generally required.

Actually, I wasn't trying to say that CPE prices would go down 50%, I

Having said that Keep in mind that Leasing companies are providing an
alternate form of financing, so they are not expecting to incur additional
