Vaseline? I'm sure I don't know what you mean, I just use it as a lubricating agent for various bit of machinery. Yes some of us still use Brasso - it's great for polishing - all in the wrist action don't-you-know.

As far as radio is concerned you're not that far off the mark, it's called moon-bounce (EME) for short. At the right frequencies (UHF and above) it makes a fantastic radio signal reflector.

Re: Show us your workstations

Wasn't gonna join in this one but the photos with ham radio equipment in them made me think I should post mine.

If any like minded people are interested, the radio on the right of the monitor is a Kenwood TS-480SAT, and the radio to the right of that is a Kenwood TM-D700E. I've also got a Dartcom APT Weather Sat reciever that you can see to the lower right of the picture.

Close - actually an FT290 and an FT690. The FT690 (6 Meters) is used the most during the summer (sporadic E's) of which (this year) up to now has been pretty poor. Although did manage to work an Israeli station (KM73 square) on the magic band a fortnight ago - not bad considering I'm only running 15 Watts into a dipole.

Are you active and which bands?

Your shack's far too tidy and no home brew stuff in view LOL! Nice kit HF/50Mhz which are you most active on? Would like to run HF myself but the QTH isn't big enough for conventional long wires and a multiband beam antenna would attract too much attention.

sigh.............!
