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.
