At one of my partner ISPs a few years ago, we had this issue with an ethernet cable that was about 200' up the tower. When the cable was run, they ended up with about 50' of cable at the bottom. Instead of cutting it short, they left that cable wrapped and on the tower (the last 12 or so feet were run into the box. When they sliced (I think they poked a hole in it) the cable to release the water, they had a jet of water about 10' long. They drained about 2 gallons of water out of the line. At another site, I had a large waveguide that was left on the tower when we purchased it. That one ended up with over 15 gallons of water in it. We had a water jet powerful enough to dig a hole in the ground where it was shooting out. :-) -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list Mikrotik@mail.butchevans.com http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
