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.
