When was a kid, I made bug frames. Knock the bugs out with a little chloroform, stick the needles in them and mount then on the board, inject formaldehyde gas into the frame and seal. That would kill them while they were out.
Store in garage then leave in the Sun for a day before hanging on wall.

Sounds like what that mean old lady down the street tried to do with us when we were kids.

"As I started my incline over the Houston shipping channel bridge I noticed the higher I got the more the signal dropped out."
1) If it was a steel lattice structure it could have caused reflections resulting in multipath reception. When two or more signals of the same frequency arrive out of phase they tend to cancel each other, could have been severe "picket fencing". But more likely...
2) Bridges too are vertical real estate, you could have been getting creamed by strong signals desensitizing your receiver.
Once upon a time there was a 2M repeater on the George Washington Bridge affectionately known as the Gee Dub, the owner went SK and in time the controller got stuck. 24/7/365 dead carrier, no ID and no way to stop it, nobody knew where in that maze of steel it was. Eventually it was found and taken down, meanwhile in the NYC/NNJ metro area the frequency was useless.

This is the bridge.

You should have been singing this as you went over the bridge. It's like having the password for WIFI.

I think I've flown under that bridge.

Is that the bridge on I610 down by Laporte fwy?

I was just down there and crossed that bridge the day before yesterday in the big truck at rush hour. I LOVE the view from atop it. I've never had good coverage on that thing on V/UHF. Dont know what its made of so cant give u a reason but I can definitely verify the effects

That's funny. A friend of mine flew his plane through the arches in St Louis. The FAA has been looking for him for years. Too bad, he's dead.

That's what taping the tail number is all about. Or is it the hokie pokie?
