I bought a large capacitance hat for my vertical, but the antenna still gets wet when it rains.
 
Did I get ripped off?

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



Uh oh...feeling a bit testy today???

Not, not at all...didn't you see my :) ? No offense intended.

What good's a hat if it don't keep the antenna dry? I think I'll keep it
though, for some odd reason my SWR's are better.

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.

Or send the new guy in engineering to supply for a pressurized
container of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Careful that stuff is extremely deadly if inhaled.


Or send the new finance guy to get the difference finder.

No. This is an honest to god left handed crescent style wrench. Hold in

Yep ! Me too. I have a 150mm "Crescent" wrench! Works great on metric
nuts & bolts.
