Don't do it.  Them dB's will fall off the wax coating and
all received signals will be lower by a few S-units!  If you
run more than a couple hunnert watts out, them dBW buggers
will burn the wax right off!

Read where during WWII and later they would apply liberal
coats of wax to
fighter planes to give them just that bit extra speed.

Would waxing our yagis give them less windload?
