No way Dale... If I put out a bowl of Bud Light and the Bird gets a FWI
(Flying While Intoxicated) or he smaks into a tree then I would likely be
charged as an accessory.
I thought you were gonna be a nice guy and offer to let me bring my radio
gear to your QTH for safe keeping and use while the house is being
demolished. Geesz what kind of friend are you anyway not to offer to store
my gear?

Gee whiz, Jack, it's obvious you have not been paying attention.
Think about the new home buyers in recent years that have knowingly bought
into a subdivision adjacent to an airport and then have moan and complain
about the 'noise' and try to impose expensive, safety-reducing,
noise-abatement policies on the airlines.
Yup...the house must go....
Also, if you are concerned about the radios, maybe a tent will do.
It's all about the bird and his progeny and his and their well-being.
Also, Ward is off-track. It's not the TV the bird wants. If it's a
Cardinal from St. Louis, and he's there for the gusto, that can only mean
one thing: Bud Lite.
Put out a bowl of Bud for him.
73,
Dale, kg5u
