You know what's really interesting to me about this. With a WX type enclosure you could put the receiver right at the feedpoint of the antenna.
Well, maybe not, I don't know what the maximum USb cable length can be.
USB is not going to make *that* kind of distance, and I wouldn't reccomend it anyway, due to lightning etc...*BUT* you can get USB Opto Converters...
I must confess, once I've played a bit more with my USRP, There's likely to be a USRP2 going up the mast, with an ethernet<->fibre adapter on the end...

I didn't think so, you never see any really long USB cables. I went back and found a couple issues of the Amsat Journal that gave an introduction to SDR, and you know it's really quite ingenious.
