[TowerTalk] Cable Lubricant

[Mel Whitten]

Lube Catcher is Tom, N0SS's, invention.  No patents pending, yet  :-)   Yes, 
I
have put pictures and drawing on my toilet paper style website 
www.melwhitten.com
I'll leave the lube catcher on there for a few days until everyone
that wants to has caught it.

Mel, K0PFX
