[Herb Schoenbohm]

Remember the old movie "Tales of the Sierra Madre were Arthur Brennen warned Boggy not to put his hand under the rock "cause there is a Gila Monster there?

And out here in the ARID areas of the US, Beverage antenna installation and maintenance brings on the risk of life changing encounters with rattle snakes and Gila Monsters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_monster .  I have seen a LOT of them in my life along the Gila River.

There is no free lunch.  No place is perfect, but many are close to it.  To each his own.

My WD-1A doesn’t rust through, but there is very little moisture to precipitate rusting of anything.

Bruce is correct that Beverage antenna installation and maintenance brings on the risk of life changing Lyme disease.   Lyme disease is present in many areas of the world, but particularly in the non-arid areas of the United States, Canada and Europe.
