Default I bought a large capacitance hat for my vertical, but the antenna still gets wet when it rains.

Did I get ripped off?

Reminds me of the time (many years ago), when the
new kid on the gang was ordered to "Wash the
Dishes" (microwave ), on a 150 foot tower ! Kid
decided it was time to quit! Had to
tell him it was a JOKE, or get the WHOLE Gang
in hot water !!! Jim NN7K

Yeah. When I was in the RCAF many years ago, a common thing was to ask a
newbie to go to the tool crib for a bucket of propwash.

Or looking for a left-handed crescent wrench and fetching a bucket of
prop wash.

Try a Dunce Cap (low capacitance) attached to your screwdriver and
manually adjust until your dip meter reads moron

The problem with this joke is that the wrench exhists. Handedness in a
wrench is determined by which thumb closes the jaws. Right thumb right
hand wrench, left thumb left handed wrench.

I have a left handed crescent type wrench. Where was it made?
POLAND of course.

Wrench available for inspection.

At 23, I took a job as a young engineer at a place that had previously been
a gyroscope manufacturer. As the new guy, they asked my to deliver a
briefcase to the boss' office and (you guessed it) there was a spinning gryo
in the briefcase. I got a big surprise when I tried to turn a corner in the
corrider and the briefcase kept going straight ahead! A great 'new guy'
trick.

I worked in a shoe store as a teenager.

The newbies were instructed to get the wall-stretcher from the backroom
when there were too many shoes to put up.
