[TowerTalk] Chicago Tribune: Antenna Stirs Static Among Neighbors

[Jim White, K4OJ]

WLpf (Wind Load of a Pink Flamingo)

Depends on whether or not you have vibrating elements oriented True 
North and be very careful Blake, wasps tend to nest in those Pink 
Flamingos...


Being a former resident of Miami-Dade County for about a decade I offer 
up the following levity - if you have ever travelled Miami you will get it:


"Heah did you hear about the two Pink Flamingos that got married?"

                "No, what about 'em"

"They bought themselves a really nice house in Hialeah and have two 
plastic Cubans on the front lawn"


...before you jump - this was told to me by a Cuban co-worker!

73,

Jim, K4OJ
