I have a connectorized ePMP on a 2' dish at 125 feet on a 50kW FM site.
The bays start at 420 feet though. And it's 50kW EIRP. Something like
15-16kW actually on the transmission line. There's also a low power
station at 250 feet, but it's under 3kW I think. The 450 AP at 225 feet
sees some CRC errors sometimes. The ePMP radio doesn't have any problems
though. The guys didn't listen to me and ran our cat5 bundle right next
to the high power transmission line. "But there were waveguide brackets
there, it was so easy!" I smash your face now.

Has anyone had good luck on FM stations recently? I would *LOVE* for
the radios to have an SFP, but it seems that's just not available.
I'm wonder if fiber up ~250' and then 10-20 foot shielded cat5 would
be sufficient to protect the ethernet ports from such high power.
I'm also weary about getting on the tower for having such high power
250 feet away, but that's a secondary issue.
