[K6BW] Damage at K6BW

[BBQ]

Hello Dave, and all,


This is bad news.  I must have missed the email when the vandalism 
happened the first time, but
even one time doing this is too much.  It is an awful statement about 
some of our community and
awful that the property of the club is damaged and affects the hams from 
using that equipment.

I hope you get them and I hope they are never able to get near any of 
the gear again.
I saw a video of a squirrel proof bird feeder and squirrels would get 
close and spin and fall off
of the device.  Well we don't want to entertain der juegen, nor have 
them cause bodily damage upon
themselves, but if they are going to continue to be stupid and try it 
again, who knows what they will
come up against? 

Hmmm... an low power electric wire, a greased rail to keep them from 
climbing something, or what about
that razor barbed wire that is in the one side of the club parking lot? 

Go get em' and then show them on the community cable channel that 
following week. 

Best of luck,

Rem
