Hello, all: I spent a good part of this last weekend assembling a Mosley 4 element beam from new. Mosley supplies a small quantity of Penetrox with the antenna and encourages its liberal application
You'll likely be fine with the sleeved sections, but to prevent stainless steel hardware galling, put Permatex on all the threads of all the bolts where they mate with nuts. Don't forget hose clamps!
One product is an anti-oxidant for electrical connections and one is to prevent hardware galling. Personally I would redo this before you install the antenna. Hello, all: I spent a good part of this
Don't worry about it. The anti-oxidant will do its job with or without metallic particles added, particularly on new, bright aluminum. The function of the grease is to exclude oxygen; the mechanical
