[TowerTalk] Tower Connection

[Grant Saviers]

The KF7P boxes are a very good deal IMO.  Considering what a galvanized 
box costs and the real PITA of drilling, cutting, and punching holes 
into these steel NEMA rated outdoor "enclosures" you will be way ahead 
with one of them. Just finished a project with one and I have a complete 
machine shop, hydraulic chassis punches, etc.

Plus, Chris has thought thru all the details and provides for them.

Go big since you need to bend the coax to arrestors, tighten PL's and 
screws etc.  As time goes by you will likely add more stuff.
