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.
