It's too bad that you use end caps on your boom, they would then be
inside and out of sight.
I have a lot of wasps here in North Carolina, I saw dozens this
evening when I came home from work. Their nests are frequently on my
house or inside my antenna junction boxes. The wasps here are not
aggressive unless provoked.
There are plenty of sprays that will work very quickly and can easily
shoot the 12' from the tower however I would first check to make sure
that they don't damage coax.

This is a first at my station.... a large Hornet Nest on the end of
the Boom of my lowest Hygain 105CA (5L 10 meter Yagi) on my 100’ Rohn
45 tower.
The nest is located on the underside of the end of the boom (24’ long)
and 1st director, which puts the nest about 12‘ from the center of the
tower and 23’ above ground.
Does anyone have any experience successfully dealing with this
situation? I would appreciate learning how you killed the hornets and
got rid of the nest without getting hurt or doing anything dangerous.
Tnx & 73
