Egg beater

[davev8]

do the egg better at the top of a vector 4K do anything constructive? if not what is it allegedly supposed to do ?

I think it is supposed to help dissipate static electricity like a corona ball.

Those little balls on the tops of antennas... corona balls. Here is an old thread about those. I'm sure once others wake up they will chime in.

Now I want an Omelet.

Looks like it could mix up a bucket of paint with a cordless drill.

My top egg beater section is bent at a 45 degree angle now. I think a buzzard landed on it. I am going to try to bend it back straight. Time to break out the old air rifle now.....

I don't think the egg beater qualifies as a cap hat does it?

It should be obvious that it is a rest stop for birds. Or a feeding station for hawks, or cats.

Gonna tape one of these to my 102" and get me some better reception, think it might just double my power output also.............LOL

They are going to love when you go through the drive in teller at the bank & scare the
s**t out of them with the racket it will make on the overhead

Ummm.....THAT has already happened. Took out a light, corona ball must have gotten caught. They banned me from the drive thru altogether, I am more than happy to walk in though.
