[TowerTalk] Potential New FCC Tower Construction Threat

[Larry WA9VRH]

Next we will have to take the glass out of our windows so they don't slam
into them. We probably better bury all powerlines just incase a bird is
carrying a ground wire.  Oh yes bird baths have to have life guards now and
no more that 1/2" of water heated in the Winter so our feathered friends
don't slip off.

those figures would be thrown out -- one would think the USFWS could do
better with the math on that one --

of my tower life I've never seen a Mr. Magoo bird injured, maimed, or do
damage to itself with a collision into a tower -- most birds I have at my
QTH do more damage to the objects below the antenna-tower with the deposits
of you know what.. not to mention the bent elements over the years from
those "dangerous doves"  ..

antennas ever did ...
