  Cross-talk between the W^+ and W^- sources of hadron production at LEP2
offers a hope to learn about basic properties of QCD, but at the same time
threatens high-precision measurements of the W boson mass. Directly visible
effects are not expected to be large, however. It is, therefore, important to
develop methods to measure the level of interconnection in the data ---
`connectometers'. In this article we study one particular set of observables,
namely the reduced rate of low-momentum particle production caused by
reconnection. In realistic scenarios the expected signals are at the border of
visibility, but not quite beyond reach. Special studies on kaons and protons,
or with other subsets of the data, could provide supporting evidence. We also
show how LEP1 Z$^0$ events could be used to define an alternative reference
sample.
