I have heard that you can use Marine varnish, the type used on boats. Hope
this helps a little.

Happy New Year to everybody!
Living just a few yards from the wild Atlantic Ocean, its undoubtely
an advantage for DXing, but also I´ve been fighting since ever with
CORROSION problems in my antennas and towers.
Concerning ANTENNAS I would be very interested (and grateful) to hear
from those who have already tried some type of surface protection:
- it pays to paint or varnish antennas? if so:
- antenna perfomance after being painted or varnished
- what paint (or varnish) to use and those to avoid and why
- what parts we should NOT paint or varnish
Please your comments...
tnx de CT4NH and again good Dxing and Contesting in 1997
