[Chris Bowne]

Yup.  They were one of the many cartoon shows on WPIX TV 11 NYC we watched as kids. Along with the 3 Stooges and Abbot and Costello.

One day I noticed the jay sitting astride the insulator, one foot on each leg of the dipole.  I ran inside turned on my Viking II, loaded it to full suds on a dummy load, switched it over to the dipole, and then pounded down on my navy key.  I heard a single loud blood-curdling squawk and then silence.  Did the jay fly away?  I couldn't see from my window.  I ran back outside and found him hanging under the insulator, both feet still gripping the wires, with feathers orthogonal to his body. Such a satisfying sight :-)
