Hi Gang
In recently putting my TH-3 together, I used LOTS of Ox-Gard on
the joints when I put it together.  Not noticing till AFTER the
antenna was up, I see where the tube says it needs to be worked
in with a wire brush.  Needless to say, I didn't do that.  Now
the antenna seems to be acting erratic.  Do I need to take it
back down and clean the joints and wire-brush the stuff in to
make it work right.  I put it on kinda thick and then just put
the joints together.  In 40 years of antenna building, this is
the first time I have used an anti-oxidizer on an antenna.  Seems
like it's more trouble than it is worth.  Thanks and 73
