if you need it flexible there is some amoured stuff they use in the
electal field too

The squirrels here the my neighborhood have suddenly decided they like to
eat my coax and control cables. They seem to be particularly attracted to
the self-vulcanizing rubber used to seal the connections but they have eaten
some coax cables as well. Anyone know of a cure for this problem?

Thanks

Go back a bit to the 'Old Coax' thread. Someone recommended cutting three
or so feet off each end of the old stuff. See if you can get those 'end'
cuts, and use them as bait in squirrel traps!

You aren't running a Beverage antenna by any chance, are you? Cuz, if
you give a squirrel a beverage........ :-)

Why not put voltage on the coax to make it work like an electric fence?

I wonder if you could put a few lines out with several hundred volts
relative to ground...

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral
busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his
cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our
own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval
of their consciences. -- C. S. Lewis
