[BC] TX shacks......horror stories

Kent:
 
 
I once saw a Collins 831G in a Sears type aluminium lawn building.  How they get it inside, I'll never know? The floor was essentially partially rotted out. The transmitter was sitting on some blocks after the floor collapsed.
 
Later on in its life,  the contract engineer called me to say the building had been broken into and his optimod was stolen.  I asked how they got into the building,  he stated that they used a pair of tin-snips.
