Words of advice? Kill the rabbits! They only eat plants around here, what kind of rabbits are these?

Any chance it was squirrels? They love to chew wire for some reason.

At my place in Oregon the tree rats (red squirrels) will chew up anything plastic. It is necessary to have cats or a small varmint dog to keep them at bay. My old grey tom would never eat them but he loved to kill them until he got too old, then I would come home every day to find something more chewed up.

I will add that I have a lot of rabbits and squirrels around here, and a lot of exposed coax. I've never had any coax nibbled on as far as I know. I also have moles and a lot of buried coax, and I have no idea what those evil suckers have possibly done!
I did have a Beverage antenna along the top of my 142' back privacy fence and the squirrels chewed the hell out of it. They used the fence top as a safe highway across the yard, and the wire really cramped their style since it was right in their way. I was a security system tech for a few years long ago and the only critter damage I had to repair was from squirrels in the attic once. And my final tale comes from Ladislav, a guy I went to college with who came from Czechoslovakia. He was once a technician who serviced the electronic controls at natural gas pumping stations across that country. They farmed a lot of sunflower seeds there, and as the harvest progressed in the Fall, giant herds of mice were driven across the fields trying to escape the machinery. These waves of mice would overtake the pumping stations and get into everything, and they would eat almost all of the insulation off of the wiring in them! |

rabbits and squirrels both make a fine stew, and cleaning them is pretty much the same
line em all up, and gun em all down |

Quote HistoryAny words of advice, helpful hints or anything I should know? Practice your trapping skills. If the site of the crime is near a wall, lean a 2x12 up against the wall far enough away to create a little lean to or covered passageway if you will. Place a snare at the end of it. That way you hone your survival skills, exact revenge, eliminate future threats and get some tasty hasenpfeffer to boot. |

Both feeds replaced with bury flex. Took about 8 hours and 300'++ of coax. Nice to be QRV again

Have you considered cutting out the damaged section and splicing the coax? It would not cause any noticeable performance issues on HF bands. I've done it numerous times.

There is only one real method of rabbit removal.
