Just remembered a bird/power line issue from a few years ago. Seems the
birds (Hawks or Eagles) were landing on or near HV power transmission lines
and getting zapped. They had to re-engineer some of the hardware to
increase the distance between the HV and ground.
Slightly different issue but our local power line noise guru says same
problem with Squirrels and some of the hardware. 73 Jim KI7Y
