Well, you have a point. But I still like his hacksaw idea.


A straight pin through the coax is more subtle - and a lot more
difficult to diagnose.


Maybe at one time, but many radio operators have taken steps to
discourage such vandalism, such as running the coax via a path that is
difficult to get to without being noticed. Besides, Baxter is probably
someone that has video security around his station. Do you really
think pinning his coax is something you actually think can feasibly be
accomplished?


How about a grapple hook tied to a good strong truck, thrown quickly to the
tower and it yanked down? "Possibly" done rather quickly and easily if one
has a good throwing arm. OR how about a laser beam fired from a car on the
street - using an AC Inverter for the power?

Seriously though - if someone wanted to "really" take him or his transmitter
out - it could be done. No one is safe in this day and age. Hang in there,
the FCC will do it..... I've seen them bust others and haul all the
equipment away - towers included.
