Nature vs Tech. Love it. Thanks.
Years ago, not long after I first started the guys told me about a call at one of the remote sites we serviced. It had a microwave link that wasn't working well, poor signal. This version had a reflector plate high on the tower and then an open basket/dish shaped antenna maybe 15 ft from the ground pointed up. Seems there was a big bonfire/party overnight and the party goers thought it was great fun tossing their empty beer cans into the "basket" ...
You might enjoy Mark Twain's short little tale:

He obviously took great note of creatures and their antics :)
I'd imagine that might be more interesting during TX, eh? (if it wasn't an RX only)
Don't we all? Thanks for the link. I'll read that.
