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
