I'm confused, first this is a 100' Rohn 45 tower, next the boom is at 23' above ground..

But i will follow this thread with interest and see what all is offered up to solve the situation with keen interest...

good luck:  mac/mc

This is a first at my station....  a large Hornet Nest on the end of the Boom of my 
lowest Hygain 105CA (5L 10 meter Yagi) on my 100’ Rohn 45 tower.

The nest is located on the underside of the end of the boom (24’ long) and 1st director, 
which puts the nest about 12‘ from the center of the tower and 23’ above ground.

Does anyone have any experience successfully dealing with this situation?  I 
would appreciate learning how you killed the hornets and got rid of the nest 
without getting hurt or doing anything dangerous.

Tnx & 73
