[BC] Wind and STL Mutes

[Rick Levy]

I made a notation from a previous list member's post
about a Scala Miniflector MF-960 circa 1990 that
would experience high BER on windy days. The
Miniflector was near an FM antenna. The problem was
that the rungs in the reflector section were loose in the
mounts and rattling around. Spectrum analyzer showed
no interference. Tie wrapping the rungs tightly in place
solved the problem. I don't recall who posted this
originally.
