A Bear or Bigfoot? Large Animal vs MFJ-1886, Animal Wins (#328)

A Bear or Bigfoot? Large Animal vs MFJ-1886, Animal Wins (#328)

An unknown large animal took down another antenna last night, this time the MFJ-1886 Receive-only loop. My guess is a bear, though it’s rather late in the season for bears. I think the antenna might be salvageable.
