And the wattage (capacity) far exceeds the draw of the antenna. You've actually got more transformer with this replacement. In other words, it could power five antennas, without overheating. You only need it to power one.
I second the hot pepper treatment. There is also a creamy "yuck" stuff you can get at the big pet food places, to repel pets from wires and so on. Or put some hot sauce on the wire. You won't need a lot.
