I agree with Don on this one. Enough of this pcb hysteria gets transferred
to the miniscule amounts that hams find in old hv caps. A local
broadcast-band engineer places kitchen saucers under caps that might leak.
To dispose of any spills just bag it and send it off to local incinerator
and/or landfill. The difference will be rather minimal compared to past
usage, which hereabouts involved spraying on dirt roads near homes to keep
dust dowm, etc. Tons and tons of pcb's were disposed of this way for
decades. If I had a cup of this stuff I might just mix it with heating oil
to test its solution stability and then maybe combining it in the ol' 275
gal.

Exception would be a pole-pig where I'd want to test it to see if was the
old stuff or the new stuff, cause this could hold ~5 gal or so.

Speaking of 'hysterical issues' what is your annual dead-bird count for
your tower? Mine still = zero, after a decade.
