I bet that's fun to climb. I had similar issues on a tower with 4 lower powered FM stations (100s of watts) and I was using shielded cable. Added ferrites to each end and it cleared up 99% of my issues. Get a single link error every now and again. That's a change from dozens a day and a 1000BT link that would only train up at 100BT at best.
Fiber is a better solution. Someday. Getting off the tower is the current goal. On Aug 4, 2016 2:47 PM, "Marco Coelho" <[email protected]> wrote: > We're 60 feet away from the shack.
