Trivia
- The hat's description is a tagline for Template:W.
- In radio terminology, Template:W refers to parts of radio spectrum with relatively long wavelengths.
- Lo-Fi, or Template:W, is a term which describes an audio recording with technical flaws, such as distortion, hum, or background noise.
- According to KritzKast episode 121, the radio tower was mounted directly to the classes' heads during the hat's development. It was modified by Valve to use the same hardhat as the Aperture Labs Hard Hat.
