I can't think what a nose cone has that provides nesting. Careful, black screening may have RF conduction, but I'm still wondering about nose cone. Greg |

Other housing, might be an option. Or, might make it worse. Plenty of trees
nearby. Shooting is not an option. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Red" wrote in message ... Build them some nesting boxes to lure them away from the antenna. Then shoot them. |

Hadn't thought of that. I did think of big nylon tie straps.

The receiver is under a plastic weather protector, which is probably 8
inches diameter. This provides space which is shielded from the weather. Nylon screen should be invisible to RF. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

At least the pigeon didn't get STD, screwing a rubber, and all.
What did the pigeon say when it went to the doctor for STD? "My pecker is sore". Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ...
