Peter,
Nice. I do not see use of these on any installation in the Houston/Gulf Coast
area. Maybe we are just cheap. 😊
The video feed was really slow. I went to bed, and replayed after it was fully
downloaded. Good job on the connector replacement. That connector is quite
different from the ones I have. I would likely drop something while on the
tower, so would need lots of spares.
