Birds also sit on high-tension lines carrying many amps at thousands of
volts.
Makes you wonder if it interferes with their built-in compass.

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?
