[TowerTalk] Bye Bye Birdies

[Bob K6UJ]

Another option for bird control is to get one of the plastic owls and put him up on the tribander.
My results were negative, evidently the birds in our area aren't scared of owls because the owl didn't help at all.
When i took it down I discovered the birds had crapped all over it.   :-)

In fact, you can get it clear, as well as other non metallic colors.  Basically we most commonly run into the metalized versions, but that is not always the case, so as I said, "it depends".  Aluminized mylar = conductive (duh - aluminum), NON metalized mylar = insulator
