I've embedded a link to a photo of the piece of line that K6MHE sent me back in
2002. Understand that this line is now dry and has been mailed from CA to the
desert of Tucson. I can only imagine what it looked like when the stuff was alive.

A few words about the "wetting agent". I have no idea of its properties, other
than the fact that it dd what I wanted it to do. I went to a chemist friend in
my department and told him what I was trying to do. He provided it and I.m sure
it was some "lab grade" stuff and not Dawn dishwashing liquid, but for all I
know, they have the same properties.

As an aside, my late friend, Danny, K6MHE, sent me a piece of window line*
that had been used on one of his dipoles suspended in the redwood trees in Ft.
Bragg, CA. It had moss growing on it.
