You can't keep a man with a dome like that down. I bet he waxes, buffs, and polishes. On FM that'll get you an extra three to four miles of coverage easy.

Yes Pigmeat the reflective qualities of head wax has been almost totally ignored by the current bunch of radio engineers.  Sadly so too, because it works wonders if the person with the waxy head likes to perch himself on top of the antenna as to act like a capacity hat on the radiating system.

This person deserves an Edison Award!

Now where in the heck did I put my medication?

I keep mine in a nondescript box under the couch in case the cops come nosing around.
