The biggest thing I stress with any FM tower is to get an experienced FM
tower climber crew to give your their opinion on the tower before
installing any equipment on it.  Too many times I have seen an FM tower
with poor grounds, missing grounds, improperly installed hardline, etc.
Many times I have found it to be the "tower" more than your equipment.
Some of my guys were on a small FM station with a 2k transmitter.  The
tower had 1 small ground, and was missing the bonding to the tower. The
tower is named sparky due to the RF charging the whole tower.  No amount
of work on the cat-5 could have ever fixed this.
