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.
  • During the Lo-Fi Longwave's development, the hat originally consisted of the radio tower mounted directly to the classes' heads. It was modified by Valve to use the same hardhat as the Aperture Labs Hard Hat according to dialog during Kritzkast episode 121.
