“I wonder what this does?”

I hope that the idiots who do this stuff find themselves on the opposite side of the mountain with a heart attack. The chopper is going to have a hard time finding the loser on the ground waving up between the trees.

The comments there are nuts. Libs blaming it on the faux version of normal people as portrayed in Taylor Swift’s new music video and the normal people blaming it on enviro wackos.

My money’s on the enviro wackos since they’ve been doing this sort of thing in the PNW for decades.

It looked like maybe a small bit of c-4 on the tower legs to me from the pic at the site.

“Out of control wildfires are a poor man’s WMD.”

Well put! Not to mention it fits with the cloward piven process. Takes a goodly chunk out of emergency, operational, and backup communications (if nothing else is working, the ham operators can usually get through)

Bears watching ... heh heh that part of the country....bears..

Bolt cutters cut bolts/cables not so much.
Note the gap between the jaws, the cable deforms between the jaws, not cutting through.

A cable cutter shears the cable.
For this crime may be an abrasive saw?
Hydraulic cable cutter?
Torch?

"...it was determined that the wires holding up the Coos Mountain Repeater site were cut."

Not an easy task and kind of dangerous.

Isn't that area part of a larger 'listening' security area for defense? What would it take to pull down something that size?

A friend owns the tower. Probably just stupid tweekers.
