Title: SWR adjuster
Post by: k7mdo on May 04, 2019, 10:16:15 PM
Well, I hope the little guy doesn't get too tired keeping my SWR down in the shack.  He seems quite happy with the coax.

Looks like he's got some construction material there..

If he can keep the squirrels from chewing on your coax, you should put a feeder out for him.

Yes, he is a busy little beaver!  So far I have never had squirrel trouble but this is the first year we have had the Western Bluebird. Random electrical current flowing between his feet doesn't seem to deter his nesting instinct!

I have to replace a few lengths of Dacron rope, that got chewed-up, before they break. Less than a year and the squirells are almost halfway through it. >:(
