Narrative:
On final approach to lodi airport (103) the airplane hit a tv antenna. The antenna was 50-75 ft tall about 1/2 mi from the runway threshold. No damage to the airplane. The owner said the antenna had been hit many times and that he was going to make it 'taller and stronger to keep airplanes away from my house.'
