Eric Floden copied this from the Globe & Mail... "In the fall of 1976, flies attacked Canadian culture when a swarm of the insects knocked a CBC outlet, Toronto radio station CBL, off the air several times one morning. Technicians retrieved two bushels of dead flies from the transmitter." That's funny, as we just had something vaguely similar happen at KSMU... our satellite reception suddenly went wonky Thursday morning. Seems a colony (or whatever they are) of paper wasps was busily building a nest in the feed horn of our main dish--the one that was live to air at the time! Apparently this sort of thing happens a lot, according to the folks at the NPR satellite depot, though we hadn't seen this problem in a number of years. Randy Stewart Springfield MO
