[TowerTalk] Boom caps. Are they needed?

[Ron Youvan]

Hi:
  Scott K8DX asked:    (in part)

  I'm just wondering if there is a real need for boom caps.

  I understand the caps (covers) [I fill the ends with black silicone sealer]
are to keep the weind from making noise (whistle) and to keep the sand or rope
within.
