[TowerTalk] antenna grease

[Don Tucker]

Works for birds, the gulls here on the coast can't function upside down 
which is the position they end up in.  Big problem though! 'Possums can 
climb the tower and they think the upside down position is nifty. 
Significant SWR when they use the driven element though, target freq goes 
way down. So does the element if they get to far out.
