Years ago Jim Johnson, K9PNG made a video he called "This Old Shack". 
It's a tour of his workshop and "QRP DX Shack" and is hilarious.  The 
connection to this thread: He used "DX Grease" to make his wire antennas 
work better; in his case it was KY jelly.  When he sat down to 
demonstrate his QRP DX station, he called CQ and a German YL immediately 
came back to him.  If anyone is interested in seeing it and is willing 
to cover my expense, I can make DVD copies and mail them..
