    We don't make dipoles. We buy them and have somebody else put them up.

    Also note that it is located in Rumpus.

    You can make your own SWR with paraffin and silicone based conduit lube.

    Or you can just spray it with PAM. Works well--the electrons slip right back along the cable jacket to complete the circuit.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    No no no, ya got it wrong. The idea is to keep the swrs from stickin to yer coax. The grease will make them slide off, and keep them from getting to yer diapole and screwin up yer swing. Damn extra hams, don't no nothin.

    Now, about that fence.... Got a lot of chain link here, but isn't it all grounded? How can it radiate with all that ground?
