[IRCA] FW: really stupid occurrences

All radio hobbyists out there, especially those in the Omaha area: beware!  If your antennas, etc. use PVC pipe, some idiot on the bomb squad may try to detonate it!

Check out this news clip from Omaha where ham radio equipment was mistaken 
for a pipe bomb and detonated by the local bomb squad.  It was apparently a 
PVC dipole balan.  They really are a bunch of amateurs in Omaha.  :-)
