   	I did microwave installation work for about a year during my   
   seven years at MCI.   
      
   	A microwave junction station at a location known as   
   'Louisville South' was being constructed.   
      
   	The locals decided that the microwave dishes would 'sterilize   
   their children'.   
      
   	They hired a lawyer and got our site construction permit   
   restrained.  So the building contractor had to end the job.   
      
   	The local residents were always crashing their four wheel   
   drive vehicles into the gate on the property.  One fellow was caught   
   running down the hill carrying a bunch of our copper ground rods on   
   his shoulder.  He had to drop them when our site personnel chased   
   after him [as they were so heavy that he couldn't run fast enough to   
   get away while carrying them].   
      
   	We had to set up a temporary shelter to house our equipment so   
   the project could move forward.   
      
   	One day, our department manager and director were standing   
   inside the temporary shelter when this fellow [who was described as   
   half hippie and half red neck in appearance] walked up to the shelter.   
      
   	He looked inside the shelter and then looked up the tower at   
   the microwave dishes.   
      
   	Then he yelled into the shelter, "Hey, man!  Them is the   
   biggest speakers I have ever seen, man!  Are you having a rock concert   
   up here, man?  I'm going to be here for this rock concert, man!".   
   Then he left.   
      
   	For thirty minutes, everyone stood motionless and never said a   
   word.   
      
   	Then the local site manager said they got visitors like that   
   all of the time.   
      
   	They finally got the judge's order lifted.  So, the building   
   for the station was completed and the equipment moved into it.  I had   
   been sent on to another project elsewhere in the nation before that   
   occurred.   
      
   	They built a very strong security wall all the way around the   
   property.  They also hired an alarm monitoring company to keep   
   surveillance on it.   
      
   	That was the only junction station in the entire country that   
   adopted those extremes for site security.   
      
   Regards,
