I've been using Green heron Everywhere for three years to get the rotor and
six pack info to the base of the tower from the house, which saves about
450 feet of cables.  Power is needed at the base of the tower, but that was
an easy 60 feet from a barn to the tower.  The Green heron RT 21rotor
control box, Array Solutions switch controls, 120 volts and 12 volts are
all in a weather proof box at the base, and from there hard wire goes up
the tower.  Power to the box is switched on and off from the barn via a
Radio Shack Remote Plug and Power controller/receiver switch.  The setup
has never failed to work.
