Kip,

Turns out that the TBZ may not need the flourescent light.  Turns out 
that bugs
were wanting to land on the antennas.  Particularly bad when they land on the
volume antenna -- it makes the pitch go crazy.

Undaunted, I sprayed bug repellent on the antennas!  And... that seemed 
to stop
the problem!

Hmm... didn't encounter any dragonflys.  Usually when I see them they 
are flying
in pairs in close formation.

Vic,

The citronella candles are a good idea.  I may set up out back after 
dark (when
the bugs really start biting) and light a couple citronella candles.

Music by candlelight!
