While hunting deer, I have heard coons make some of the wierdest noises. I bet this one made a funny sound when he got the zot.

After all the probalematic Asian and South American animal imports into this country, this is the first time I heard of the reverse. Guess they never heard of coon-skin caps.

said the animal, whose owner was unknown, was smuggled onto the island.

Hmmmmm. I wonder why someone would bother to smuggle a racoon.

At WGH (AM) in Newport News-Norolk, Virginia we had a transmitter "failure" and I was listening to the engineers on their radios working to get us back on the air.

The transmitter was at the end of Warwick Blvd and I was at the studios on Mercury Blvd. when the station went down.

They were going back and forth (studio/chief engineer) over a wiring diagram when one of the says "I have a 'raccoon-to-ground contact' here at G-47".

This was a less-than-lucky raccoon as he had stepped into 5 kw of RF.

It was there illegally.
