Varmints getting in the xmtr more than anything. FWIW, that was a picture of an Amateur (i.e., "ham") station.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-11-2008 12:22 AM                     Not long ago, the local Fox station got knocked off the air by a wayward cat getting into the transmitter building... The Ham tower makes since in that those are usually on rooftops and squrels...sqru...squ...those varmits have no problem getting on rooftops of houses and the like.

On more than one occasion a mouse got turned into a potato chip inside one of the matching networks.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-11-2008 07:08 AM                     quote: Kenneth Wuepper We had more trouble with mice across the High Voltage filter capacitors.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-20-2008 02:23 AM                     I found this 9 ton behemoth parked in my neighborhood: It's the Tornado Intercept Vehicle ("TIV") from the Discovery Channel TV series, Storm Chasers. The TIV has been in Lawton undergoing some serious repair work at Great Plains Technology Center. GPTC is also helping in the process of building a new TIV for the Spring 2008 tornado season. Pretty cool. Maybe not as notable as the current Miss America being from Lawton. It's still pretty freaking cool nonetheless.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-20-2008 04:37 AM                        How does that thing "intercept" a tornado?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-20-2008 04:55 AM                        It doesn't. It kills them.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-20-2008 11:54 AM                     Yeah. What Joe said. See the number of "kills" on the side of the vehicle? Seriously, the TIV is one of at least 3 vehicles they use to chase tornadoes. One of the other vehicles is a mobile doppler radar truck that gives the team a pretty good idea of a tornado's path. The TIV has been hit directly by a few tornadoes -hence some of the damage GPTC is repairing. One thing I'm wondering: with the windows on the TIV being a bit small-ish, how do they shoot decent footage in formats like IMAX?  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-20-2008 01:01 PM                     I am really starting to miss cable right now...  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-20-2008 01:17 PM                     Who cares about that nerdy crap, let's see some pics of the Miss America.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-20-2008 02:00 PM                       Woo-hoo, Mike!
