Agree fiber is the long term solution. No argument there and it is in the capital budget. What is stopping us right now is the cost. We are a non-profit so having to buy two EdgePoints (due to the "H" shape of the tower, we are on both legs) and two fiber cables - as well as the fiber transceivers in the building. That is a ~$1200 investment. Small for a larger WISP but significant for us.
We have most of the conduit and a spool of UBNT ToughCable Carrier wire. Total cost for conduit is ~$50. What I want now is a workable solution to RF interference. The Ferrite solution has worked to some degree with us but two new FM stations were just added so the problem is only getting worse. Will steel EMT conduit help FM noise? If so, it is a cost effective immediate fix for us. And it will make running the fiber/power easier down the road when we can afford to fix this for good. If conduit will have no effect on FM noise, I won't waste the time and will stick with the Ferrite solution for now.
