Wes brings up a good question. Why don't most hams cap the mast. My last two
towers (and the one I am working on now) have had caps. I use a fence post cap
which has a set screw in the side. I think I got the first one at a local
hardware store, but Lowe's and that other HIW store carry them. I did it to
keep the squirrels from filling them with acorns, but I guess it would stop the
bird "situation" also.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Unusual bird problem - Bird stuck in mast
One potential problem with this thread is that some bird lover
fanatic will pick it up and become concerned. The concern could
lead to a movement to force all hams to plug the tops of their
masts.
