Hi jimmy,

Shouldn't you use cords in an installation that high?

looks good to me.  Question, the cable from the mast to the VP2,  it is buried?  and is it in a conduit of some sorts?  I use PVC pipe, thread the cable through it, put a drain in the center and we are good.  I have rabbits and squirrels digging here and there. so I ran the cable above the ground and thought "what if birds dance on the cable, so I have the attached setup.  But something like that could be buried.  If water goes in the tube, it drains out. So far so good.  I have a wireless transmitter for my second wind unit.(backup)
