This One's For The Birds!

Through May 29th the FCC is accepting comments on a petition by from the American Bird Conservancy, Defenders of Wildlife and the National Audubon society asking for expedited rulemaing on the effect of radio towers on migratory birds. Give me a break! When does the nonsense end? I have been in radio for over 40 years....much of the time spent wandering around underneath towers of varying heights. I have never, I repeat NEVER, seen a dead bird near a radio tower. This is, to quote the old bard himself, "Much ado about nothing". Furthermore, I read somewhere that the number of birds those groups are talking about is a percentage of one-percent of the total number of migratory birds. Besides, if we thin 'em out a bit they won't end up in the engines of airplanes. Some folks need to get a life.
