See. When you grease the antenna, those low power electrons can slide off at super-speed, covering great distances. It all about overcoming resistance, and having the capacity to put aside your reluctance.
Who gnu?

I greased my antenna last Sunday.Originally Posted by K7SGJ
To make it slide over the tree branches.
Antenna Grease also increases "Skin Effect", makes it easier for your radio signals to skin off yo' antenna into space, be blessed by the "Skip-Gods" and, be reflected back down into "DX-Land".
For me, it was Alaska and Russia (with 5 minutes of each other) and, "The Mini-Grass" (Hawaii). Back in the 70's, I could hear the Aussies but, they never heard me.
Wonder whatever became of "The Arrostock County Whipsters", a CB Club in the state of Maine; received dozens of Q-Cards from their members; betcha most of them moved on to Amateur Radio.
