[BC] Scary listeners

[Chuck Lakaytis]

Around here the nitwits aim for the lights and almost always hit the antenna
or transmission line instead.

Several years ago we had bullet through a strobe light.  The rigger took a
piece of rebar, put it in the through and through hole, sighted along it and
was able to point out to the police exactly which window was the origin of
the shot.

The young shooters parents where not amused to receive the multi-thousand
dollar bill.

Barry,

Tower lights and coax are in season year round, regardless of format.  The
sophisticated shooters go for the Johnny balls.

Dale,

It was the Z-Rock listeners who worried me the most, followed by some 
country audiences.

More than a few tower lights and coax became target practice after a 
format change.
