When I worked at Farinon Electric we supplied microwave radio links to
India's Northern Railway, to replace the copper telephone lines that
controlled the switches, after copper wire thieves cut them down.  
But 3 inch diameter coax is a whole 'nother level of theft! ...not to
mention dropping a tower to get it.

Ok,  in my last post I got the tower height (700 ft) wrong, but this time
it's correct!
