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..
