Got a very different question for the group. I have a couple of very large
antennas, one a 3 element 40 meter yagi and the other a 3
element full size 30 meter yagi. My problem is the birds which hang around
these antennas. I realize the antennas are a great place
for birds to land and scope out prey below, but the other day a rather large
bird tried to land on the end of one of the elements of
my 40 meter beam and bent it down almost to a 90 degree angle. Now I can either
take the antenna down (no small job), fix it and re-
raise it, or I can hire a manlift (no small expense) and do it mid-air myself.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I might keep the birds away from my
antennas so I can avoid this kind of hassle in the future?
Thanks in advance.
Dave, W8QW
