Antenna Birding

I have my portable antenna set up near the vegetable garden, tuned to 6 meters. Having figured out the guy cord system, I’m more inclined to leave it set up for a while. But this means it’s a good perching spot for birds, the antenna elements being up about 16 feet or so. Today we had a western kingbird on it. What will be next?

  1. Good bird to have on patrol over your garden—and that’s some good multitasking!

  2. At first I was thinking this was an antenna for tracking birds somehow, but I’ve got it now—this is a radio antenna. And the kingbird—is that the one like a finch on steroids? (Oh dear, you guys are soon to plumb the depths of my onithological ignorance!)
