Been gagging on it.
Bit of a ranting post. (Verizon Maintenance) Had an OVP swap for a cband power failure a couple weeks ago. Show up on Saturday morning at 6:40. Cband radio has no power. I opened the raycap and see a pile of dead, quarter cooked bluejays, eggs, and about inch and a half of bird droppings and cooked nesting. I took some pictures and sent them to my foreman, and head down while he talks to the site tech.
Go up the next day with an n95 and some disposable gloves, and start cleaning out the old ovp, chipping at the hardened nest and waste with a flathead to free the sectors and find the hybrid. After 45 minutes, I have everything free and unhooked, dead birds and half-cooked/half-rotten eggs stuffed into a garbage bag. Do a 1up/1down for the ovp, get cband and cbrs back up.
Anyways, that bird smell kinda burned in. Took three washes to get it out of my clothes. Regardless, been gagging when I'm close to big bird nests since. I know I'll get over it, but seal your raycaps.
Anywhos: here's a pic of a nextel platform me and my new guy decommed for at&t last friday.
