It's quite well known that the best antennas are built from zircon
encrusted wire, which is trimmed using only zircon encrusted
tweezers.
If you can look at the wire ends on a sunny day and can see
noticeable tweezer glint, you know you have a world class
antenna system worthy of the masters praise and endorsement.

WOW! Another one of those which you always wondered about, but were too
ashamed to ask about. I just knew there were others like me who must
have wondered about it. Now that you have just tossed it out like so
much fact ... I realize I was silly not to have asked.

We are much better off for having had you share that with the group.

Many thanks,
JS :-)
