Sorry, I got carried away there.  A Yagi is a highly directional antenna, 
those old TV antennas were a type of Yagi.  The trailer has a crank up bat 
wing style of antenna and I would like to attach a high gain Yagi to it in 
order to pick up weak signals.

That's a fact. The care and feeding of the world's billionares consumes a considerable percentage of the world's  resources. Yeaars ago I read an article predicting the IT professionals are destined to become the grease monkeys of the future.  It has certainly come to pass.

They can pay people $800 a month there rather than the $8000 here. That 
money does not go to the workers remaining but to the top. Remaining 
workers are laid off as fast as they can move process off shore.
