The cheapest thing you can do, in my opinion, is this:
Put your equipment in a good metal box, if fans make them RF screened fans,
and ground it good.
Then make your cables with level 2 tough cable from ubiquiti (or whatever
their double shielded cable is called), using their shielded ends and
+1 on ferrits.

This problem is a bitch. We're on a station that's only 20k watts and
Ethernet issues are severe.
We finally had pretty good luck by moving the radios down and running high

The biggest thing I stress with any FM tower is to get an experienced FM

with poor grounds, missing grounds, improperly installed hardline, etc.

large enough to fit thick STP, e.g. like Ubiquiti tough cable?

Something I've heard talked about in ham/engineering circles is don't have
cable runs that are near a half wavelength or multiple half wavelengths of the
frequency that's giving you trouble. It's a last ditch effort but it might be
worth thinking about. Ferrites are great. When you put them
I know this fits Mohawk direct burial cable but it didn't solve my
ethernet problems on an FM tower.

An AM tower is supposed to be hot, since the tower is the antenna. An
FM or TV tower is supposed to be a grounded support structure for the

Yes.. I'd never mount to an AM tower but we were next to one on an FM tower.

Those are big enough to wrap the cat5 through 3 times.
