Re: Hijack. Have to say I never imaged I would see Steam Punk fashion eyewear on
this forum! We designed a Steam Punk themed boutique hotel a few years ago. Lots of gratuitous hardware. Did the elevator as Doctor Who's Tardis - blue doors and infinity mirrors inside the cab. Unusual project....
Back to the original topic. Lots of ideas here. Keep it simple. Monofilament line should be effective above the spreaders. At the top of the mast....NOT coat hangers. Please. For the love of all that's decent. But there is a basic idea there that might be workable if cleaned up and made more secure. Suppose you made a nice clean loop of aluminum or stainless steel wire that extends a couple inches above the anchor light and is bolted to the underside of the flange the anchor light is bolted to? Loop the wire ends around the anchor light bolts between pairs of nylon washers with lock nuts. It might just work. It might look like an old uhf tv antenna too. Honestly, if I had this kind of bird problem, I would probably just attach some bird spikes to the top of the mast. I
hate bird spikes, but I hate mess more.
