Squirrells and TV antenna components

[George Burke]

Ernie, The trick is to eat them before they eat your property.They are high in the Big "C", so I have heard! I tell you now, if they were eating my Nuts, I would darn sure get rid of them quick! Have a safe trip. George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte

After I came home from Montana, last year, I parked under our pecan trees. Yesterday, I left for points west and upon arrival in Haskell- where is that place? Texas, I tried to raise my antenna. Nothing. I went up on the roof and found out that the rodents had made a nest inside the antenna box. Not only did they make themselves at home, they ate good, too. They chewed through all the wiring for the motor and the safety micro-switch. This made viewing any tv null and void. And in Haskell, Tx, that was one boring nite.

Today, I took out the pivot pin and was able to manually raise the antenna. And with the help of a spare bungee cord, I can now see what is on tv that is not worth watching. So if you have squirrrells, beware- this would be a good item to periodically inspect.
