[TowerTalk] Ameritron RCS-10 Coax Switch

[Roger (K8RI)]

I'd guess the same as Dick, Static electricity although I don't remember 
seeing any in mine. OTOH it's at 90 feet and I don't plan on going up to 
look. It's 34 degrees and supposed to dump a mix of rain and snow in a 
couple of hours. <:-))

It's going to get replaced with a DX engineering unit about 10 - to 20 feet 
off the ground along with a "6-pack" in the terminal box at the base of the 
tower.
