Pure beeswax has a melting point around 140deg.F if I remember the information I read yesterday in the package... I don't know how hot the chassis gets- but your comment sounds reasonable, Chuck. So I guess that means I get to tear down the antenna section again, and strip and laquer the coils... I'm having fun... Icon_smile Icon_razz Suggestions on laquer? Or any clear spray on will do?

Thanks for the replies!
