[BC] Marti HRC-10A replacement

[Dana Puopolo]

This doesn't surprise me. When I was doing an install, I heard audio coming
out of Marti STL receivers with no antenna connected and the units mounted in
a shielded rack. This was an 8 mile path. Later on, a moron 2 way radio tower
crew working on the tower used the dipole feed to the 4 foot dish as a ladder
rung and broke it off. The STL continued to function with a small amount of
noise.

Mike;

The REALLY strange thing happened when the tower guy arrived to 
change the feed horn

I thought he had everything changed PDQ because both receivers went 
to full quieting and then some

I radioed up the tower and he said no, he had the inner conductor of 
the N connector exposed and was letting the wind hit it while he 
changed the horn, to be sure it was dry

This is probably a 13-14 mile path........and the only antenna was 
the 1-1/2" or so
sticking out of the outer conductor of the jumper
