TT:

     A couple of years ago a squirrel (and I know which one he is) chewed
through the outer jacket of all three of my tower's coax runs near ground
level.  I taped them up as well as I could at dusk one day, but later found
that I had missed a few open jacket spots.  The SWR on the antennas would
bounce all over the place when I ran near 100 W; I'd have to back down the
power to get a stable SWR reading.  The braid I could see through the jacket
was darkened by corrosion.

## Ruger .204    Get a box of Hornady  40 grain V max rounds.  3900 fps.
It will blow them to bits.   Straight as a laser. Its a tack driver, and then 
some.
