The only time I've heard of birds coming out on the short end of the
deal was at a VOA transmitter site in Ohio running megawatts of power
along open feed lines. I'm sure your maximum forward power wouldn't
even approach their reflected power (grin).

For the first time in many years, I'm about to put up a 20 meter monobander on
a tower. The XYL is asking questions I cannot answer, specifically relating to
RF and birds. I wouldn't want to be a bird sitting on an element when a KW is
supplied to it? Are my concerns valid?
