Around here the grape farmers use noise makers to scare off the crows and other
bird that sound like guns. Don't know how well they work though. It also makes
living out in the country less enjoyable to the resonant. I would think some
PVC to cover the exposed section of the RG6 might work and would go down into
the ground half a foot or so. Big enough to maybe cover the connection to the
verticals too (but I have never seen what those receive vertical connections
are like).
Back to stealth mode.
