Paint or nail polish with the resistor color code:

GRY/BLK = 80
PUR/GRN = 75
YEL/BLK = 40
ORN/BLK = 30
RED/BLK = 20
BRN/GRN = 15
BRN/BLK = 10

Since the hamsticks themselves are black, you could omit black as the
second color unless you want to paint a white background first. I'd
paint a circle clear around it like a resistor so you can read it
without rotating the antenna.

And yes, there is green nail polish. :-)
