RE: Aerial Masts
A solution to the problem of dents due to falling birds would be to up the
voltage a bit (or a lot). Funniest thing I ever saw was a very loud crow go
very quite after shorting itself across high voltage lines on a pylon while
on holiday in India (me, not the crow). There wasn't enough large pieces of
the thing left to cause any dents..

This idea sounds promising. I bit like what you see at tube stations.
rows of pins on the lights and signs to stop birds landing on them.
I'm not sure how workable it would be, or whether it would cause TV
interference.
Thanks for the other ideas everyone. I think they may be a tad
severe. Birds muck is one thing, but dents due to falling birds
is another. Maybe the electrified idea would cause even more muck
from the shock.
Anyone have any bright ideas re: moving the aerial. I was hoping
to build something with say scafholding. But maybe the weight would
all be a bit much. Apolologies for the Ascii Art :-)
