How many of us drive around to transmitter sites and 
> hike up hills to towers while carrying radios and frequency counters?  
The wierdest time is visiting your station's farm when tossed off air - an 
eerie stillness to it all without any fans blowing or meters moving...  Oh,
and the sense of urgency to fix the problem that goes with it.
 
Is this urban myth or what?  A tech once said that it's possible to fry a
rodent  who climbs a 'dark' stick which later becomes hot (pattern change)
and then climbs down with the misfortune of not hopping off the side of the
radiator near the bottom....   Any tower painters out there?

Hmm..  Time for dinner...
