[OKDXA] Oklahoma QSO Party

[Robert Redmon]

Jim,

Nice to see your call sign again. If I remember correctly, you were quite active on the Tulsa repeaters back in the 70s. I lived in Bartlesville at the time. 

Good friend rid his attic of red tailed squirrels recently with those plug in noise makers (sub or super audible frequencies…not sure which) put a couple or three up there with extension cords and they were all gone within a few days. They sell those at the big box stores. Home Depot and Lowes both stock them….so does Walmart if they are “in season.”  Need to be ready to repair whatever allowed them to get  into your attic, because they will come back. I used them to rid my garage of a mouse that found his way in last December.
They work.
