? Indeed, Peter, indeed. On this side of the pond, it is a well-known
fact that gopher snakes consistentently achieve higher speeds in
gopher-tunnels if they are liberally lubed with high-quality snake oil.
Similarly, Amateur Radio operators who want to improve speed of
radiation would do well to apply a generous coating of coax-wax to any
and all feedlines.
