NoAlox etc will do if you need to create a moisture barrier where dissimilar
metals meet. If you're trying to create a lightning ground system, the last
thing
you need is to add a barrier between the radial and the earth.
Exothermic welding will do the job too. But it's rather expensive for
hams.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] coating galv. guy rods
What about coating all galv. metal that goes into soil and concrete with a
roofing tar or some such goop prior to burial? I did that recently with
bolt legs for HBX tower into concrete and also for legs of a HyTower. The
stuff is very black, very thick, petro product. What's say? de K4VUD
