This was one of the first questions I asked when I joined the list, and
while
I havn't tried any of the yet, here are a few ideas I was offered.

* Electrify the aerial
Might affect receiption, oh yeah, and is probably illegal :-)

* attatch of those childrens windmill things to scare them away.
Probably won't be very long lasting.

* Attatch luminous plastic strips to the vertical vanes on the main poll.
The idea being they would flap in the wind and scare the little turd
machines away. This is my favorite. You can get strips of very tough
plastic, perhaps one of those luminous cycle safty belts cut up would
do the job?

Hope that helps, let me know if any of it works, I'm getting a new car on
Saturday, and I'll need to poop prevention if I want to avoid melting the
laquer of my new wheels.
