This just shows how Wayne contradicts himself. Remember how he used to
bitch about the mess on 14.313? Yet, he's advocating creating another
mess under the guise of "self-policing"...and this is all coming from
a guy who believes crackpot pseudo-scince, like electro-shock therapy,
can cure AIDS, cancer, and even re-grow severed limbs.

...not to mention that he thinks the Apollo moon landings were faked.

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.

If cutting it with a hacksaw can, yes.

Har. I have no idea what either of those did, but the second
reminds me of my first job. Our direct boss was as much of a nervous
narvus as I've ever seen. The office, in the early 60s, was wired with
an arrangement whereby his boss could call any one of my boss' four
peers into his office using a buzzer to each of their desks.

We found we could poke a pin into the right cable against the
wall and frequently set his buzzer off. Then he'd go into his boss'
office and get chewed out for being an idiot for showing up when he
hadn't been called.

We also found out that if you leaned back hard enough in one
of the office chairs, it made nearly the same sound.

I suspect the guy could have lived a few extra years if he
didn't have the four of us as his temporary summer messengers a couple
of years running.
