Possible RF problem in Shack

Great thing about glass is, it does not allow lightning to follow it!

Exactly, and fiber is not nearly as expensive as was stated.
My situation is not RF on the feeding coaxials but rather close internet modem with 900mhz yagi a few feet from the transmit antennas.
Grounding the PC was also helpful but at the end of the day fiber works greater than you might think.
An aside I no longer worry about a lightning pulse taking out my network along with my Flex.0 -
You might ask why the modem on the tower.
I need the height to hit the access point until time civilized cable comes to my area.1 -
I add an abandon old router, using its LAN side with DHCP off as a switch, between my radio cabinet and the main router.

Congrad for DXing in area without civilized cable. Quiet station assured.0

These are the converters I used. One is on top of the Flex connected with a .5m ethernet cable and the other is next to the router with a .5meter ethernet cable

This is the optic cable I got.

Sets up in a few minutes, no programming. I now have the peace of mind that surges through the internet cable are a thing of the past.

We have Buried Power and Cable here, but it wasn't always that way. Here's the house's original power service panel from 1896 (120v DC one circuit fused Plus and Minus side) that was still feeding 1/2 of the house on AC when we got here Sept '16... Just **** in larger fuses was SOP..1

Erika - Where is your home?
I spent part of my electric utility career in New York City, Consolidated Edison. At the time, ConEd was supporting portions of the old Thomas Edison DC distribution system. Some of the older NYC buildings continued to use DC for their elevators.
Later on, ConEd was paying for the old buildings to use MG sets (Rotary AC to DC converters) to replace the need for DC distribution.

Rock Rapids, IA. The far NW Corner of Iowa 6 miles south of Minnesota and 20 miles east of South Dakota. The utility switched over to AC in 1921 or 22... I have the book here... Everything WAS heated via coal around here back then. A deposit was found in the eastern part of the county way back when. They didn't get Natural gas here until 1955. Erika DD0
