Re: [amsat-bb] Umbrella dish antenna

["Robert Oler" <cvn65vf94@xxxxxxx>]

I dont have the address right in front of me...but in the quest for the 
"quiet" HF car I bought a distributor assembly and then sent it out to a 
company in CA that "sprays" the outside with some RF suppressent paint and 
WOW what a difference it made.  They sprayed the wires, the distributor and 
a couple of other "links" that I sent them.  After that the loudest thing in 
the car was the fuel and oil senders...

I am wondering if that type of paint would do it..?
