But before you make the new connections, use Scotch-Brite or a steel wire brush to burnish the oxide off the aluminum and IMMEDIATELY coat it with AlumiNOx or whatever the equivalent aluminum oxidati

Whether new or reused, all antenna connections, especially telescoped tubing need to be cleaned. The antiseize greases (I've always used NoALox or PeneTrox, but there are many others) designed for al

The NoAlox grease has two functions. First the grease keeps the aluminum from oxidizing more, but also its filled with crystalline zinc particles that when pressure is applied break through the alumi

But not the ones with plated steel parts. They rust too much. 100% stainless steel hose clamps do exist. McMaster-Carr and Heartland AgriSupply are two sources that I know of. Gerald J. _____________

One small correction - steel wool is not recommended because it will leave small particles of the steel wool on the aluminum, and embedded in it. Wire brush or Scotchbrite are the best choices. 73, D

Hmmm....I did not know about zinc particles in that particular product. Nor did I know that you could form "crystals" of zinc. Perhaps you are just referring to small pieces of zinc. But - are not zi

I suppose everyone already knows that aluminum and stainless react with each other. Ever try to get a stainless bolt out of aluminum threads after a long time ? But I don't know a better combination.

Not to keep dragging this out forever, but, used to be, the greases came in petroleum-based and synthetic-based. For obvious reasons, the synthetics are better - if there is a choice, select them. Al

Crystals. Look at a sheet of hot dipped galvanized tin. Lots of crystal shows there. The crystals are hard enough to break through the thin aluminum oxide to make good connections. Sure you can make

That's our point. That is not all SS and it will rust rapidly out in the weather. The point is all SS clamps ARE available and do weather better. Sources that I know of include McMaster-Carr, Heartla
