> His reasoning was that enough bare aluminum-to-aluminum surface area
would remain that the use of the Permatex was very unlikely to negatively
effect antenna performance. Anyone have an opinion on this? Should I re-do
the joints in question while the antenna is still on the ground? Or would
this be a needless exercise at this point?
I wouldn't re-do the joints - too danged much work. What I would do is
to bond the elements mechanically and electrically with either pop rivets
or TEK screws. Like my old buddy AA6DX says, "Worky, worky!"
