I tried an experiment the other day and want to inform the group on my
findings.
I made some Kielbasa the other day and hated to just throw out the leftover
drippings, so I decided to try an experiment. I "oiled down" my 80 meter
dipole with it. (I made sure I gave it a good coat). Ever since then I
have been noticing my received signals and transmitted signal are around 10
dB stronger then they used to be before applying the drippings. I even
think I heard a Polish station calling me on the 75 meter phone band the
other day. I'm pritty sure I have accurate readings here as I'm using a
high quality Swan 350 radio.
I am now thinking of selling my amp and just have a good supply of Kielbasa
on hand at this QTH, or at least save the drippings for future applications.
